I am going to blame that on the fact that I get to go to the Indian store only once every three months. The actual problem starts after we reach home when I am bombarded with a lot of...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/03/aloo-methi-potato-fenugreek-leaves-gravy.html/feed 10 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/04/basic-gravy-makhni-gravy.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/04/basic-gravy-makhni-gravy.html#comments Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:00:49 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=215 I made this gravy last December for the Sinful Delight event. I posted the Paneer Tawa Masala that uses this gravy, but did not get a chance to post the gravy itself. The good thing about this gravy is that it freezes well and it is perfect to make if you have an abundance of...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/04/basic-gravy-makhni-gravy.html/feed 11 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/12/vendhaya-keerai-kuzhambu-methi-leaves-in-tamarind-gravy.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/12/vendhaya-keerai-kuzhambu-methi-leaves-in-tamarind-gravy.html#comments Thu, 15 Dec 2011 04:12:00 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=226 This is a very simple kuzhambu which goes well with rice. You can replace methi leaves with any vegetable like drumstick, boiled potatoes, brinjal, etc. You can even skip the vegetables and still have a tasty dish. Kuzhambu also serves as a nice side dish for idlis or dosa. I make this over the weekend...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/12/vendhaya-keerai-kuzhambu-methi-leaves-in-tamarind-gravy.html/feed 0 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/10/methifenugreek-channa-dal-pulao.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/10/methifenugreek-channa-dal-pulao.html#comments Sat, 22 Oct 2011 17:00:00 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=170 As the days get shorter my drafts seem to be getting smaller too and the reason is that I am able to cook only on the days I am off work.

I wanted to make something quick and easy with it and got this recipe from my friend. The only time consuming part is to wait for the toor dal to be cooked. Apart from that this is a really easy and...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/05/methi-dal.html/feed 20 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/04/methi-paratha.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/04/methi-paratha.html#comments Tue, 26 Apr 2011 07:19:54 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=1351 Methi or Fenugreek like Spinach has a lot of health benefits. I have used the seeds and the dry form a lot but have not experimented with fresh leaves since our closest Indian store is 3 hours away … yes you read it right. So we get to see the Indian vegetables only once in...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/04/methi-paratha.html/feed 0
