Methi Sambar (Vendhaya Keerai Sambar)

Methi Sambar is one of the frequently made dish in my home. My kids show aversion to normal spinach, but when I make dishes using Methi leaves, they love it. The tender & greenish Methi always attract me and I frequently make Vendaya Keerai Thuvaran or this Methi Sambar or Methi dal.  Fenugreek leaves are very healthy greens to be included in our routine diet. Its very simple to even grow these leaves in our Patio or garden. We just need a deep tray with good composite. Wet the composite and sprinkle the fenugreek seeds. Add a cup of water daily and keep the tray in the place where you get good sun light. Slowly you can see small green leaves coming out of the sand and within 2 weeks, you would have fresh methi leaves. Try this Organic Methi Sambar and share your comments!

Superb recipe. I have made it before but adding the shallots while grinding the paste is a good tip. The sambar turned out amazing!
