Ingredients
4 cups of fresh tightly packed methi leaves
12-15 baby potatoes
1 or 2 green chilies chopped
1 onion diced
1 tomato chopped
1/4 tsp turmic powder
1/2 tsp cumin seed crushed
½ tsp red chili flakes
butter or any vegetable oil
salt as required
Method
remove the leaves from the stems of the methi leaves. rinse the leaves thoroughly in running water. see that the leaves are clean. now chop the methi leaves.
I used baby potatoes, keep the skin on.
saute the onion for some minutes till they start looking crisp and are lightly browned. add the tomato.
add the chopped green chilies and stir. Then add potatoe and fry well.
now add the chopped methi leaves. stir very well.
add salt. give a nice stir and let the methi leaves cook on a medium flame uncovered.
the methi will start to leave water. lower the flame and cook them for 5-6 minutes more.
you should see the leaves wilted and cooked completely. the liquids should dry up. continue to saute for 2 to 3 minutes more once all the water has dried up. some oil should release there should be no moisture in this dish.
if you see that the potatoes are not cooked and the water has dried, then sprinkle 2-3 tbsp of water, so that the potatoes get cooked. when the veggies are done and if there is any water left, then dry the water. the end dish should be dry and not watery.
when the aloo methi is done, you could add some more butter and mix it with the veggies. serve the aloo methi with parathas or rotis & Enjoy!!
