Aaloo methi ( stir fried potato and fenugreek leaves)
Now this is a demand by a friend of mine who lives alone and asked me to put a recipe of any vegetable and the ingredients should be strictly for one person. Alright then you all could multiply by the number of people you are making it for.
Here goes the recipe….
Ingredients
1. 2 cups fresh fenugreek leaves
2. One medium potato
3. One medium onion
4. One green chilli or to taste
5. Three tablespoons mustard oil
6. A little less than half teaspoon turmeric powder and salt to taste.
7. Two dashes of garam masala
Method
1. Pour the oil in a heavy bottomed pan and bring to a smoking point and then turn off the gas and let the oil cool off a bit before adding the sliced onions. Don't sweat if your pan gets a little stained after smoking the oil as a little scrubbing will get rid of it .
2. Stir fry the onions and the chopped green chillies on medium flame till they turn golden brown.
3. Add the turmeric powder and the chopped potatoes and cover and cook till almost done.
4. Meanwhile wash and drain the leaves and chop them fine.
5. When the potatoes are almost done add the leaves but do not cover the pan.
6. Add salt and stir fry on medium flame till the leaves shrivel and are cooked .
7. Sprinkle the garam masala and serve with rotis.
 Now this is a demand by a friend of mine who lives alone and asked me to put a recipe ...){kind=link}
its an excellent and yummy recepie, however i tried a little variation...someone has told me that chopping methi makes it bitter, so i simply seperated the leaves from the stalk...makes a slight difference to taste. try it
ReplyDeleteYou are partly right, chopping the fenugreek and leaving it unused for more than fifteen minutes turns the taste bitter.And also if one covers the lid and cooks the methis too long also spoils the taste to an extent. Thats why so far this method brings out the best tatse of fenugreek ( to my mind). I would appreciate more comments to improve the recipe because to get the best taste without losing the nutrition is the main of every good cook.
