Abha, my in-laws cook once cooked this in my kitchen. Before that I had never seen lentil cooked with potatoes.This dish was very tasty. Addition of curd was not there but i guess it would enhance the taste!

Lovely recipe , Abha, I can’t get fresh fenugreek leaves here, but I probably can substitute dry fenugreek seeds? Thank you for sharing, have a great weekend.

I am glad that you liked my recipe. But if you make this recipe, try to use some fresh fenugreek leaves only. I use dry fenugreek seeds for tempering. Alternatively you can use spinach or mustard or amaranth greens but not seeds. Have a great week. Take care.
