Aloo Methi Sabji / Potato Fenugreek Indian side dish




Blogging after such a looong time...
Today I am posting a side dish Sabji which takes just 10 minutes this way and hence I find it one of the ideal lunch preparation. 


Ingredients: 


5-6 medium sized potatoes boiled in pressure cooker until soft
1 Bunch of  Methi ( Fenugreek leaves which gives approx. 1 cup of leaves after sorting )
1 Tsp coriander powder ( or to taste )
couple of pinches Turmeric powder
2-3 green chillies chopped finely
Salt to taste
1/4 Tsp Sugar 
1 - 2 Tsp oil 
mustard seeds, cumin seeds,Asafoetida


procedure :
  1. Chop boiled potatoes keeping the skin on them ( it is healthy ). Chop Fenugreek leaves finely.
  2. Heat oil in a pan. Once heated, add mustard seeds, when they splutter add cumin seeds.
  3. Add chopped green chillies , Asafoetida. Add turmeric powder.
  4. Add chopped Fenugreek.  Saute  for couple of minutes. Fenugreek will get cooked soon.
  5. Stir well. Let it cook for couple of minutes.Once you see it leaving water and getting cooked, add chopped potato cubes.
  6. Give a nice stir. Mix well.
  7. Add salt, sugar.
  8. Since potatoes are already boiled, it will not take time. We are just making sure Fenugreek is covered all over the potatoes well.
  9. Cook for 1 min on sim flame.
  10. Serve hot with Chapati or fulaka :)
  11. Sprinkle little lemon juice while serving ...if you like it. It is considered good that green vegetables eaten with lemon juice makes body absorb the iron quickly.
Live a healthy life!!!
