Cook Aloo Methi
- Wash nicely and peel potatoes.

- Finely chop fenugreek leaves, use a food processor or chopper if you have.
- Heat oil in a kadhai or heavy bottomed pan. If using mustard oil, heat oil till starts to give slight smoke. Switch off the gas and let the oil cool a bit.
- Add cumin seeds in hot oil, once the seeds crackle add ginger and green chilli.
- Add cubed potatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add chopped fenugreek leaves and salt as per taste. Mix well cover and cook the veggie.
- Keep on stirring in between and keep the flame to medium low so that subzi doesn't burn at bottom. Cook till potatoes are soft and tender. You can use a fork to check cooked potatoes.
- Switch off the gas and serve hot with chapatis/parathas or dal rice.
Notes
For Gluten-free version, use Gluten-free asafetida or skip it.
You can also add dried fenugreek leaves if fresh leaves are not available, add 2 tbsp of dried leaves which will be almost equal to the 3-4 cups of fresh leaves.
You make skip ginger if you want.
If not using green chillies you can use red chilli powder as per taste if you like your veggie to be spicy.
