Fenugreek spicy tambli / menthe khaara tambli / methi khaara tambli

Tambli or tambuli is a traditional havyaka recipe. There are many tambli recipes which are prepared traditionally in every household. Some of the tambli recipes I have already shared on this blog are mango tambli (maavina kaayi tambli), lemongrass tambli / kudu tambli / majjige hullina tambli, elebadige soppina tambli, onion tambli / ullagadde tambli / eerulli tambli etc.

Fenugreek spicy tambli / menthe khaara tambli / methi khaara tambli is also one such recipe. In this post let us explore the methods of preparing it. I have divided the whole procedure into four steps. Let us start with ingredients.

Thanks to my Atte - Mahadevi for this traditional Havyaka cuisine. In the same way, we can also prepare Fenugreek sweet Tambli without adding red chillies, instead use jaggery. I will write about it in coming days.
