Aloo Methi (Potato and Fenugreek leaves)


This next dish is a basic dry potato based dish infused with one of my favourite leafy green veggies – Methi/Fenugreek leaves!! This dish may have a subtle bitterness to begin with, however once infused with the accompanying spices it turns out to a real tasty & quite healthy dish!!!!!
Ingredients
  • 3 Potatoes medium finely chopped or cubed
  • 1 cup Fenugreek leaves/Methi chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 tsp. cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp. chilli powder
  • 1 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1 Veg stock cube/ salt
  • 1 tbsp. Veg oil

Parboil the potatoes with a pinch of turmeric. Drain them and keep aside.

Heat a pan with 1 tbsp. of oil and add cumin seeds and let it splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté till translucent. Add chilli powder, turmeric powder and sauté for a while.

Add the boiled potatoes and fenugreek leaves/methi and mix completely.
Add ¼ cup water and mix. Cover and cook on low flame for 5 minutes.
(if u wish you can mash the potatoes with back of a spoon at this stage—optional)


Transfer to a bowl and serve it with Roti!!!!!
