Shepu (Dill/Sowa)

Shepu also called as Dill/Sowa is a leafy vegetable and all leafy vegetables are my favourites. So here goes the easiest shepu curry recipe.



Ingredients :
A bunch of Dill leaves (Shepu gaddi)- sorted washed and chopped coarsely
3-4 green chillies-chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic- chopped
2 tablespoons of moong dal
mustard seeds
turmeric powder
Salt to taste
curry leaves


Wash and soak moong dal and leave aside.
Heat some oil in a pan
Add mustard seeds.
Add curry leaves, garlic and green chillies after the mustard seeds pop.
Add turmeric powder, salt to taste after a minute
Add the soaked moong dal. Do not add any excess water from this dal.
Finally add chopped dill leaves and cook for around 5 mins.

Quick dry shepu curry is ready to be served with chapatis :)
