Before moving on to the Vendhaya Keerai Kadalai Paruppu Masala Recipe/Methi Chana Dal Sabji Recipe. Let's know about -

What is Vendhaya Keerai Kadalai Paruppu Masala Recipe (Methi Chana Dal Sabji Recipe)?

Vendhaya Keerai Kadalai Paruppu Masala Recipe/Methi Chana Dal Sabji Recipe is a healthy and tasty dish typically served as an accompaniment to rice or chapati. It is one of my favourite recipes and is made during the Vendhaya Keerai/Fenugreek Leaves season. In India, fenugreek leaves are widely available from November to early April.

During the season, fenugreek leaves are available in 2 varieties. They are -
(1) Small Fenugreek Leaves or Fenugreek Microgreens.
(2) Large Fenugreek Leaves/Methi Leaves.

You can use any variety of fenugreek leaves to make this dish. I have tried this recipe in both varieties of fenugreek leaves and they both taste good. However, at my home, we preferably use fenugreek microgreens or small fenugreek leaves. Because small fenugreek leaves or fenugreek microgreens are easily available.
