Ingredients

TO TEMPER:

  • ½ tablespoon oil
  • ½ teaspoon jeera
  • 1 tablespoon garlic
  • 1 teaspoon green chilli

Instructions

  • Rinse potatoes, cut into half and Pressure cook for 4 whistles. Peel off the skin, chop them into bite sized pieces.
  • Heat oil in a pan – add jeera, let it splutter.
  • Then add garlic and green chilli, saute them well for few mins until it starts to golden brown.
  • Rinse methi leaves, chop it finely and set aside.
  • Add cooked potatoes and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
  • Then add methi greens.
  • Sauté till it shrinks, then add turmeric powder, red chilli powder and garam masala powder mix well.
  • Sprinkle little water just for the masalas to blend and cook covered for 5mins in low flame until the sabzi becomes dry.
  • Give a quick sauté and switch off.
  • Serve Aloo Methi with phulka or rice !

Notes

  • Boil potatoes first – Pressure cook the potato till soft but not too mushy. If it gets too soft, it will break while mixing.
  • Clean methi well – Methi sometimes has mud or sand. So wash 2–3 times in water, then chop it.
  • Chop small – Chop methi leaves small so it mixes easily with potato and cooks fast too.
  • Don’t overcook methi – Cook till it shrinks and raw smell goes. If you cook too long, it turns dark and little bitter.
  • Sprinkle little water – Just add small splash only if needed. It helps masala stick well. Don’t put too much, this is a dry curry.
  • Keep flame low – After adding methi and masala, cook in low flame. This way everything mix well and don’t get burnt.
