Aloo Methi (potatoes & fresh Fenugreek leaves) is one of the frequently cooked household dry dishes (sabji) which is relished with chapati/paratha/naan or any other Indian bread of your choice. 


For this sabji I prefer to use boiled aloo (potato) as it reduces the cooking time (Fenugreek doesn't take much time to cook like other green leafy veggies). Moreover boiled aloo gives a nice texture to the sabji binding the onion-tomato masala nicely. 

Ingredients: 

2 medium sized potatoes boiled, peeled & chopped into cubes
1 bunch of Fenugreek (methi), separate the leaves from the stem, use leaves only (around a cup & half)
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 teaspoon green chili paste
1 medium sized onion finely chopped
2 medium sized tomatoes finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (zeera)
salt to taste
1 tablespoon oil for cooking

Masala:
1 teaspoon red chili powder
½ tablespoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon dry mango powder (Amchur)
½ teaspoon garam masala

Method: 

  • In a pan heat some oil, once hot add the cumin seeds. When they splutter add the onions & saute.
  • Once the onions are translucent pink add the ginger, garlic & green chili paste. Saute again for min or till the garlic aroma disappears. 
  • Now add the tomatoes, mix & cook covered for 5 mins or till the tomatoes turn soft. 
  • Add all the ingredients listed under Masala along with salt. Mix & saute for 2 more mins. 
  • Once the mixture is well combined it will start giving out some oil from the sides. Thats the indication to add the Fenugreek (methi) leaves. 
  • Add a pinch of sugar, saute & cook till fenugreek leaves are cooked. 
  • Finally add the potatoes, mix well so that the potatoes get well incorporate with the fenugreek & masala. Cover & cook for 5 more minutes. 

Tip: if you are using raw potato instead of boiled, add it to the masala before adding fenugreek leaves. When the potato is ¾ cooked then add the fenugreek leaves & cook till both are done. 


That's it, out Aloo Methi is ready, serve it hot with Naan/Chapati/Roti or any Indian bread of your choice.  



Happy Cooking!!
Shweta
