Aloo Methi

I have been trying out different dishes with methi (seeds and leaves) and so here is one more attempt. I have always liked potato in them so I decided to make aloo methi by combining the methi leaves and potato. Here is the result!

Ingredients

Potatoes - 3 (cut in cubes)

Onion - 1

Ginger-Garlic paste (optional) - 1 tsp

Green chillies - 2-3 chopped fine

Coriander powder - 1 tsp

Turmeric powder - 1 tsp

Red Chilly powder - 1tsp

Oil - 2 tbsp

Salt - to taste



Method

1) Chop the methi leaves (Fenugreek leaves) fine and remove the stalks. I like mine with the bitterness in them but if you wish to remove it then mix it with 1 tsp of salt and keep it sitting for 10 minutes. You can then squeeze out the water from them and use them.

2) Heat oil in a deep dish pan and add the onions, green chillies and ginger-garlic paste when ready.

3) Once the onions turn translucent add the potato cubes and salt. Mix well.

4) Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are well done.

5) Now add the methi leaves along with the masala powders - coriander powder, red chilly powder and turmeric - and mix very well.

6) Cover and cook for 5 more minutes.



That's it! Some also add tomatoes at the end of it so that is also something you can try. Now have this with either rotis (like I did) or with just plain rice. Quick and tasty!


Cheers!
