Fenugreek leaves Rasam or Menthya Soppu Saaru |
ಮೆಂತ್ಯ ಸೊಪ್ಪಿನ ಸಾರು | ಮೆಂತ್ಯ ಸೊಪ್ಪು ಸಾರು |
Tried it just like that (haage summane) and made this saaru like how we make regular bele saaru (lentil rasam), but have added sauteed and ground methi/fenugreek leaves and small amount of fenugreek seeds as well.
I thought it may turn out little bitter but it didn’t, rather it turned out to be so fragrant. So gladly sharing the recipe of the same with you all which is a diabetic friendly recipe as well.
Therefore I insist you all, go ahead check the recipe and make this fragrant, healthy, soothing fenugreek leaves rasam or menthya soppu saaru at your place at least once without fail, then you’ll make it repeatedly…I’m sure
