This
methi dal fry serves a dual health benefit. It's extremely good for people with heart ailments along with diabetes as methi helps to control blood sugar levels. Moreover, fenugreek is enriched with fibre - which promotes gut health and iron - a nutrient which helps boost hemoglobin levels.
To square up an Indian meal, steamed rice is the best accompaniment to
lentils with fresh fenugreek leaves, but for all health conscious we recommend to serve with
chapati or
multigrain roti and a bowl of
kachumber.
