Pappu (dal with greens )

A mild nutritious side to have with rice or chapati.  A fave at home (yes, another andhra fave )

this is my take on the famous andhra Pappu. 

Ingredients :

Tuar Dal : 1 cup  (cooked with less water , slightly well cooked and thick )

garlic :  6  cloves cut finely

methi leaves (can even use paalak or chakotha) ; 1 cup cleaned and chopped finely (used the chopper)

salt

haldi

red chilli pwd  a little

rasam pwd  half tsp ( just for flavour)

method 

in a pan take some oil and add te chopped garlic and fry till it becomes slightly red.

add the finely chopped methi leaves and fry well till a nice smell comes.  add some haldi, red chilli pwd and rasam powder and salt. mix well and then add the cooked dal and a little water and mix well.  add water to get the required consisitency.  this dal is to be thick .  let it boil for a minute and then have it with hot rice and ghee.
