Fenugreek Greens Kitchedi:
Methi Kitchedi. Vendhiya Keerai Pongal/Pulav. Menthilu Annam. Greens Kitchedi. Greens-Rice Kitchedi.
When it comes to gardening, I am a lazy goose. Though planting and sowing sounds all nice…its not so easy to maintain a plant for a whole year!! So, I prefer tender greens likes this…which grows pretty fast. Just matter of 2 weeks of caring, its ready to harvest!!
Myself and my room mate used to argue over the fact ‘killing an animal for consumption’ and ‘destroying the whole plant’ for consumption are both ‘violence’ equally…then why just blame the meat eaters?!! Especially greens, they are always plucked from the root. Vegetables are no less sin either, eradicating the whole reprodcution part of the entire species…one could go on!
Ingredients:
Rice 1 cup
Split Moong dal 1/4 cup
Fenugreek greens 1 bunch
Green chilies 3 sliced
Onion 1 sliced
Garlic 6 cloves
Salt
Cumin seeds 1/2 spoon
Cinnamon stick 1
Clves 3
Butter/ghee 1/4 cup.
Method:
Wash and clena te greens, save only the leaves.
In a crock pot,heat oil. Add the spices and chilies. Wait till they splutter.
Now add garlic and onions…fry real good.
Stir-in rice, lentils and greens. Add enough water, cover and cook till tender.
Serve to go as a main dish.
Wow…I never thought about eating greens is also like killing! I am confused now…great recipe dear as usual dear
Nothing can beat the taste of fresh greens.
Another awesome dish Malar
The kitchedi looks perfect!
Kitchedi with Fenugreek leaves, WOW! very healthy way to have greens.Fresh greens! very very healthy rice …mmmmmmmm….Nice argument:D
This is really a very useful post,new to me..looks great.thanks for sharing!!
Great kichedi with methi..healthy too..
This is so healthy and delicious…very different and nice…
Read yr write up.. yeah the argument never ends…however consuming a life that has a lesser developed conciousness and a life that reproduces faster is always better…Killing an animal with higher conciousness is a bigger sin
Also for any life to survive, we have to depend on another life (in the form of food)…! My argument! haha,.
BTW…do u have a methi plant at home>? Any tips, how can i grow it..in a pot? Indoor??
Its better than animals atleast is what i think.I mean the “killing” bit.Greens are so healthy and this makes a perfect meal.
That was a quick and easy recipe.. and it is the exact same argument that my hubby comes up with whenever we have a debate.. and Thanks for stopping by
wow healthy kichadi and I sometimes say that killing an animal or eating greens are all the same but the fact that even the roots are harvested and consumed for they help us retain the best of it!!!
Yum! Methi rice looks so rich and gorgeous!
What a healthy dish…Really Looks yummy..
He he…I,being a vegetarian my friends use to argue with me like this…and it would be a great debate which goes on n on….

Malar…Kichadi looks awesome…a healthy recipe..
Delicious and healthy methi khichdi..looks perfect..my non veggies friends too always argue on the same..guess this argument will never end!!!
Healthy and yummy dish.
even i used to argue about this topic …….killing a living being for eating…………now i don;t bother>:D:D
this khichdi is good……i make a methi pulav ( already on my blog) n khichdi ( in my drafts….i am a lazy person you know) using methi…..it’s yummy with creamy yoghurt.
methi is good for health for many reasons.i have some dried n preserved…..at home.
Methi plant in your kitchen garden tells me your passion for kitchen garden. Good idea to grow short lived plants rather than a perennial and worrying on winter:(
Nice arguement dear. Love the way u express things. I too ask the same qn:) Can there be a classification like … smaller sin bigger sin etc… Cant understand the way the nature works.
Btw.. methi rice looks delicious and healthy.
I always love such rice and green combo.Couldn’t agree more,plants have feelings too ,science has proven it:)
Wow! You planted and harvested your own methi! Great!
