Methi Aloo- Fenugreek Potatoes



I've been enjoying a regular harvest of methi since a while now. Having explored various combinations and dishes like methi theplas, methi dal, methi rice, a friend suggested an Indian favourite Methi Aloo.
A great dish to serve with hot rotis.
Methi Aloo
Ingredients-
4 medium sized potatoes
2 cups washed and chopped methi leaves
8 cloves garlic minced
1 large red onion sliced
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp red chilli powder

1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Salt to taste

Preparation
  • Wash the potatoes, quarter and pressure cook with skin.
  • Peel the potatoes and cube.
  • In a wok heat oil, splutter mustard seeds.
  • Add the ajwain seeds.
  • Sauté the garlic then add the onions.
  • After the onions turn translucent add the turmeric, and chilli powder.
  • Stir well, add the methi leaves and let it cook.
