Prepare this nutrition-rich Palak Menthe Palya or Spinach Fenugreek Leaves Sabji for Chapathi or Rice. Narrated in Kannada with English subtitles.

Ingredients:

Groundnuts - 1/2 Cup
Roasted Bengal Gram/Putani - 1/2 Cup
Oil - 2 Tbsp
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
Groundnuts - 2 Tbsp
Chopped Onion - 1
Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
Chopped Big-sized Tomato - 1
Chopped Spinach - 2 Cups
Methi/Fenugreek Leaves - 3 Cups
Cooked Toor Dal - 1 Cup
Salt - As per taste
Jaggery - 1 to 2 tsp
Red Chilli Powder - 1 tsp
Prepared Groundnut+Roasted Bengal Gram Powder - 2 Tbsp

Method:

1 Add 1/2 Cup Groundnuts to a pan. Roast the Groundnuts in medium flame. The skin of the Groundnuts turn slightly brown in color and the seeds start to break. The rawness of the Groundnuts should be gone. Transfer these roasted Groundnuts to a plate or a bowl. Allow to cool completely.

2. No need to remove the skin of the Groundnuts. Once the Groundnuts are completely cooled, add 1/2 Cup roasted Bengal Gram or Hurigadale and mix well. Powder these two ingredients in a mixer grinder. Keep aside for later use.

3. Add 2 Tbsp Oil to a pan. Once Oil turns hot, add 1 tsp Mustard Seeds. Once Mustard Seeds splutter, add 1 tsp Cumin Seeds. Once Cumin Seeds turns slightly golden in color, add 2 Tbsp Groundnuts. Roast Groundnuts till they turn slightly brown in color.

4. Add one chopped big-sized Onion. After mixing chopped Onion, add 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder and continue frying. Once Onion is roasted in Oil, add 1 chopped big-sized Tomato. Fry till the tomatoes turn soft. Once Tomatoes turn soft, the mixture starts to leave Oil on the sides of the pan.

5. At this stage, add 2 Cups chopped Spinach/Palak and mix once. Once Spinach is cooked slightly it turns soft, add 3 Cups chopped Methi Leaves or Fenugreek Leaves.

6. Now add 1 Cup cooked Toor Dal. Mix everything once. Add 1 Cup water and mix well. Close with a lid and allow to cook. Once the leaves are cooked, add Salt as per taste. Add 1 to 2 tsp Jaggery and mix well.

7. Add 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder and mix well. Adjust the consistency by adding water. At this stage, add the prepared powder. Take 2 Tbsp of this powder in a bowl, add little water and make a paste of it. Add this to the Palya/Sabji. Mix well until you see a boil. No need to add any extra Masalas to this Palya/Sabji. It tastes great without them.

Serve this Palak/Menthe Palya with Chapati or Rice. Quality cooking wares that I love and recommend. Many of these I use every day in my kitchen and in the videos as well. Thank you.
