I tasted this dal for the first time after shifting to hyderabad .During our visit to sri sailam we had stayed in a hotel named as grand akka mahedevi which is is on the way to srisailam.It was then i got opportunity to taste real andhra food for the first time in my life .I still remember the tasty finger licking taste of the andhra food served to us .Andhra cuisine is characterised by spicy as well as tangy taste which is just superb.
Price was also reasonable full meal consisting of dal ,sambhar,rasam,curd,bhajia,chutney,2 veggies ,chapati & unlimited rice & that for 99 rs only .
I tasted this dal & was in love of this dal & cabbage chutney .Highly impressed I coundnt resist from asking the recipe to owner of hotel.It was then he called the cook & she told me about this delicious methi dal made from toor dal & methi leaves.
Also known in telugu as Menthu kura Pappu which is a very nutritious tasty healthy Andhra dal dish that calls for the use of tur dal and fresh methi leaves.
