Metkut

It is an excellent appetizer. Freshly steamed rice, a pinch of salt and a spoonful of ghee with metkoot at breakfast is not only appetizing but also builds immunity level.  

Ingredients of metkoot :

Split chickpeas (Chana dal) - 1 bowl

Split black gram lentils, dehusked (Urad dal) - 1/2 bowl

Rice (Chawal / Tandul) - 1/2 bowl

Wheat (Gehu /Gahu) - 2 tbsp

Fenugreek seeds (Methi dane) - 10

Cumin coriander powder

Black pepper

Salt, Red chili powder, Asafoetida, Turmeric

Recipe of Metkut :

• Dry roast each of the ingredients. Keep on stirring so it won't get burnt. The light brown colour is just enough.
• Grind all to powder. 
• Add cumin coriander powder, black pepper, salt, red chili powder, asafoetida, turmeric while grinding.
• Turmeric gives nice yellow colour.

This is a storable recipe as a dry chutney. Adding little curd tastes even better. 

Metkoot can be added to chivda or pohe.

I have written a recipe about Thalipeeth bhajani. Metkut and another dry chutney Udid Dangar can be prepared simultaneously while making thalipith bhajni. 

Steamed rice, creamy curd and metkut makes a delicious quick dish.
