Aloo Methi/ Potatoes in Fenugreek Greens




You need:

Potatoes – 2-3 nos (peeled and quartered)
Methi (Hari)/ Fenugreek greens – 250 grams (use just the leaves and wash properly)
Panch Phoran – 1 tsp
Whole red chili – 1-2 nos.
Tomato – 1 nos. (quartered)
Salt
Turmeric – ½ tsp
  1. Heat oil in a pan. Add panch phoran and red chili.
  2. Add the potatoes, salt and turmeric and fry till potatoes become golden brown.
  3. Add methi, cover and cook.
  4. Once you feel methi and potatoes are almost done, add the tomato. Cover and cook till tomatoes become soft. Switch off the heat.
*Add the tomatoes when the potatoes are almost cooked, as adding them earlier delays the cooking process.
** Panch phoran (Five spice mix). If you don't have the ready-mix, you can mix the following in equal quantity (i put lesser fenugreek since its quite bitter) to make your own - Saunf/Fennel seeds, Methi/ Fenugreek seeds, Rayi/Mustard seeds, Kalaunji/ Nigella seeds.
