methi leaves matvadi palya
Matvadi palya is a wholesome curry with protein and vegetables. My ajji used to make this palya with gorikayi(cluster beans), beans and even with greens like menthya soppu, baby dill. It is an awesome side dish that goes well with rice, rotis and you can just eat it as it is. This Matwadi palya is a very easy to make side dish. In this episode we are making matvadi palya using menthya soppu and sabsige soppu.
