The combination of pleasantly bitter fenugreek leaves with nutty chick peas, flavoured awesomely with an onion paste, tomato paste and spice powders, this recipe is a wonderful match for both rice as well as rotis or puris .
The nice blend of textures, the traditional flavour and appetizing aroma of this dish make it truly irresistible. It will be enjoyed by the whole family, and can be served with rice and dal, or any Indian bread.
