Aloo methi

This is very similar to aloo capsicum, well atleast the masala is.

Ingredients
2-3 Potatoes peeled and cubed to big pieces.
1/2 bunch methi, washed, destalked, chopped and salted well.
1 Onion grated (optional)
2 large Tomatoes grated
Oil
Salt to taste
Chilli powder

Turmeric powder
Cumin powder
Jeera
Saunf

Method
  1. Heat oil in a kadai or pressure cooker. I used my small pressure cooker.
  2. Add jeera and saunf. Once they are done, add the grated onion and fry well.
  3. Once done, add tomato paste, all the spice powders and fry for 3-4 mins.
  4. Squeeze out the water from methi leaves.
  5. Add the aloo and methi, salt, half a cup of water and mix well.
  6. Close the lid and let it cook for 2-3 whistles. Take care not to over cook.
  7. Open the pan and if you find too much water floating around, let it simmer for a while.
  8. You can add chopped coriander leaves.
Serve with phulkas.
