Aloo methi -A simple and flavourful stir fry of fresh fenugreek and potatoes

Aloo methi is a classic North Indian stir fry /Dry curry,full of rustic and simple flavors. Fenugreek have a strong flavor, is slightly bitter in taste and give a very distinct and unique taste to the dish.I cook methi with just few spices to enhance the flavor.

Fenugreek/methi is a seasonal winter vegetable,but now this is available through out the year. Fresh leaves are used to make aloo methi ,stir fries and to make parathas etc. The dried leaves of fenugreek are refereed as– kasoori methi and is also used for flavoring curries. Lowering of cholesterol and fighting diabetes are just some of the fenugreek benefits that has on your health.

This aloo methi sabzi goes well with roti and rice both .the leftover can be stuffed in sandwiches and wrapes both.
