Aloo methi sabji, a super easy recipe with spices powders to give a unique twist to the simple dish.
You can prepare this for a quick dry sabji for your phulkas, especially in winter when fresh methi is available abundantly.
Check out my cauliflower sabji and ridge gourd sabji in this website.

This is just a simple sabji with methi leaves stir fried along cooked aloo. Being a south Indian, I like to use my sambar powder (which is majorly dhaniya and chilli) for my sabjis as it's very handy.
Instructions
- Clean the methi leaves firstly and chop it roughly, keep aside.
- After that, wash, peel potatoes, cube cut and boil it until soft but yet retains the shape without over cooking.
- Then, heat a kadai and add the tempering items in hot oil, followed by onion.
- Fry till onion turns soft and then add the methi leaves. Fry furthermore till it reduces in volume.
- Now add chilli & coriander powder (I used my sambar powder in place of these), turmeric, salt and cooked potato.
- Then, sprinkle water, mix well and cook covered in low flame.
- After that, roast till potato turns golden brown and nice aroma wafts.
- Transfer to serving dish and serve as an accompaniment for rice or for rotis! We had with dal, rice and phulka.

Notes
- Make sure to balance the spice, salt for methi not tasting bitter.
- Use mustard oil if you like the flavor and for authentic taste.
- You can keep it simple with just spice like red chilli powder or green chilli and no coriander seeds powder.This way the methi's flavor turns out strong.
- Cook potatoes just right without turning it mushy.

hi.. I'm a newbie to Singapore and cooking 🙂 been trying out several of your recipes and love them..they always come out great! This one has my mouth watering, but I wonder where one can find methi in Singapore. Can you tell me where you bought them from? Thanks!

I tried this tonight and my friends loved it! It was so easy! Another easy Indian dish for this white girl to impress with =P Hehe. By the way I used spinach instead of methi because Montana does NOT carry things that cool.

Hi Raks,
Tried your aloo methi today and came out good...But when the potato in my gravy was not as roasted as yours..When the curry started sticking to my pan I drizzled some water and stirred it...I switched off the stove when the gravy used up all water...Should I have used oil during that time???Reply
RAKS KITCHEN
Shiny,
Cook covered for some time(say 5 minutes)in medium flame and after that keep stirring at interval of 2 minutes for 6-8 minutes. Do not keep sprinkling water. Only once when you cover and cook. After that, if u want you can drizzle oil to avoid sticking to pan... hope this helpsReply

Skip red chilli powder, turmeric and you can add green chillies and cooking cream to make it as gravy
