Making aloo methi Recipe:
• In a kadai or pan, heat up the Puvi Sesame Oil Add the potatoes first Saute the potatoes for some minutes till they start looking crisp and are lightly browned from the edges.
• Add the chopped green chilies and asafoetida. Stir. If you don't have green chilies, then just add about ¼ to ½ tsp of red chili powder.
• Now add the chopped methi/fenugreek 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 the leaves for 5-6 minutes more.
• You should see the methi 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 be released from the sabzi.
• 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 ki sabji with parathas, rotis or rice-dal combo.More Recipes:
