Steamed Wheat Flour Dumplings/ Menthye Kadubu

This is one of the Uttar Karnataka recipe,made with fenugreek leaves and wheat flour dumplings.This one was taught by my Mother in law. I liked this the first time she made it for me. This is not only easy to prepare but delicious too. the most important part which makes me so frenzy  about this is ,this doesn't need to be fried. This reipe is so simple and easy to cook yet very delicious to relish on.
