Hello Friends,

I'm back with one more healthy and interesting combination for you. Sharing recipe with step by step photos. 

Today's blog post recipe is completely different from the authentic Rajasthani Methi Mangodi recipe. This recipe is my variant of mangodi sabzi and it is very much loved and appreciated in my house.

Before moving ahead with this recipe, let me introduce you with the Mangodis.. Mangodis are small button sized, sun dried lentil dumplings. They are made from soaked and ground Moong dal or urad dal. You can easily pick them up from the grocery shops. In today's recipe, I'm also using store bought mangodis.

Mangodi Methi is a healthy, scrumptious and a super tempting combo of greens and lentils. The USP of this dish is that it controls the sour taste of fenugreek leaves to a great extent. This recipe is dedicated to all the methi lovers. Please give it a try.. I'm sure you'll going to love this.
