Friends I have been extremely busy with relatives from India.
I will post later what I cooked for breakfast , lunch and dinner.
They are leaving tonight. Then I will be a bit free.
Thanks, Kugan98
[tscii]Karthika, the funugreek leaves will be slightly bitter.
Not as bad as bittergourds.
When you cook them with other ingredients, it will not be noticeable. Good for health. Kugan98

Glad you liked the methi kutoo.
I thought you only get it in India.
Suja I think you are asking about what they call bulgar wheat.
It is a very healthy food. We used to cook it like rice and eat with our gravy and side dishes.
I am posting a upma dish for you, try it out. Kugan
CRACKED WHEAT UPMA
Ingredients:
2 cups cracked wheat
1 cup any veges cut into small pieces
1 onion chopped fine
2 green chillies chopped
1 tsp ginger chopped
2 pips garlic crushed
1 sprig curry leaves
2 tsp oil
½ tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
1 tbs channa dal
½ tsp cumin seeds
4 cups water
Salt to taste
1 tsp ghee
Method:
Heat a tsp of ghee and roast the cracked wheat till you get a good aroma.
( You can skip this step if you do not like) It will be extra yummy if you do.
Heat oil in a wok, add the mustard seeds, urad dal, channa dal,
and the cumin seeds. Add also the garlic and curry leaves.
After few seconds add in the ginger, green chillies, onion and sauté well.
Add in the cut veges and salt, mix nicely.
When the veges are half cooked pour in the 4 cups of water.
Let it come to a nice boil, lower the flame and add in the roasted cracked wheat slowly while stirring the dish continuously.
Make sure there are no lumps. Cover it with a lid and cook further
on a very low flame.
When all the water is absorbed, remove the lid and mix it gently.
You can serve it as it is or with any pickle.
This is quick one-pot meal and very healthy too.

Aarthii, I am posting a recipe for fresh methi leaves paratha.
Try you can get it in Canada (Suja said she can get it)
Or I suggest that for the recipe that I have given, take about 3 tbs of the methi leaves. Sprinkle some water on it and keep for a minute. Season the other ingredients, lastly add the wet methi leaves and remove at once. then add it to the wheat flour that you are going to make into paratha. Try little and see. Kugan98
METHI PARATHA.
1 cup fenugreek leaves, cleaned and chopped fine
2 green chillies, chopped fine
1" piece ginger, grated
1/2 tsp powdered cumin seeds
1 tsp oil
Salt to taste
2 cups wheat flour
Water as needed
Ghee or butter to make the parathas
Method
. Heat the oil and add the cumin. After about 5 seconds, add the ginger, methi leaves, green chillies and some salt. Stir until the leaves start to wilt and get lightly toasted. Don't cook it for more than 5 mins. Let this mixture cool.
. Add the fenugreek mixture to the wheat flour , more salt if needed and enough water to make a soft, pliable dough. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls
. Roll out each and cook on a dosai kal until both sides are golden brown.
. After removing from fire, apply ghee on both side and keep covered to maintain softness.
