aloo methi sabzi | Punjab aloo methi | how to make aloo methi | potatoes with fenugreek leaves | with 16 amazing images
aloo methi is an everyday Punjabi sabzi ... easy, tasty and awesome. Yet, every time you taste it, potatoes with fenugreek leaves feels exotic, with the softness of potatoes and the pleasing bitterness of methi.
You will find that this aloo methi dry sabzi is made with everyday ingredients in Indian kitchens like potatoes, methi, ginger, garlic, cumin seeds and red chillies. The rich aroma and flavour of aloo methi makes you eat an extra chapati or two.
I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect Punjabi aloo methi. Take a deep bowl and put the chopped methi leaves into it. Sprinkle a little salt over the methi leaves and mix well. Keep this aside for 15 minutes. As fenugreek is a very bitter vegetable, adding salt over it removes the bitterness in the form of water. This makes the fenugreek much less bitter in the aloo methi sabzi. 2. Cooking the potatoes for long makes them a little crisp and gives them an appetising brownish colour. It also allows the potatoes to imbibe the flavours of the garlic, green chillies and ginger really well in aloo methi.
We often make aloo methi sabzi with baby potatoes at home, however our recipe uses regular potatoes.
Aside from aloo methi try other sabzi combos with methi like Methi Palak Paneer Subzi, Methi Papad and Methi Mutter Pasanda.
