Aloo Methi is a lovely combination Potato and Fenugreek leaves cooked with spices.  The taste of potatoes with slight bitterness of  fenugreek leaves is a great treat to the taste buds. This dry curry is a great combo for Roti as well as Rice.

  • If you prefer more of the methi flavor,  feel free to double the quantity of methi leaves.
  • Do not over cook the potatoes. The potatoes should be cooked completely at the same time it should not smash
  • If you need more masala taste, we can add 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala. I  prefer less masala in aloo methi so i have added only broken chillies

The last step says ” Finally add crushed Kasoori Methi” but the step before that says to add the chopped methi leaves. There is nothing in the ingredients about Kasoori Methi.
