Aloo methi/Potato Fenugreek Fry

                Fenugreek is good solution to reduce Cholesterol and Sugar. Potato has got Starch which is rich vitamin of C.As both are very good in nutrition I had idea of making combo with these two.

Preparation Time: 30 min 

Serves -5 

Ingredients:


Potato(Diced into Cubes) - 1/2 kg

Fenugreek Leaves (Finely Chopped) - 1cup
Cumin/Zeera Seeds
Turmeric Powder - a pinch
Onions (Finely Chopped) - 2
Tomato (Finely Chopped) -2 
Garam Masala - 1tbsp
Red Chilli Powder - 2 tbsp/To taste
Coriander Leaves - 5-8
Salt - to taste
Oil - 3 tbsp


My Method Of Cooking:



1. In a Pan place 3tbsp of Oil, add Cumin/Zeera seeds, let them dance awhile for about couple of seconds.


2. Now add Diced Potato cubes, toss for a minute. Add Turmeric Powder.Close it with Lid for couple of minutes.


3. Now remove lid from pan add chopped Tomato pieces and also check whether Potato pieces are boiled. (if not allow it to cook to another minute)


4. Now add Finely chopped Fenugreek/Methi Leaves to the curry.Mix well add Garam Masala Powder, Salt to taste,Red chilli Powder.


5. Now Check For Seasonings (salt,red chilli powders) and make sure that potatoes are cooked.



Tips:



1.To check whether Potatoes are boiled Perfectly take a piece and pierce it with a knife. If your Knife goes smoothly into it your potatoes are cooked Perfectly.

2. Place Diced potato cubes in bowl of Salt water till they are cooked in pan.



          Finally As i Always say Maintain Medium Flame otherwise there is a chance of burning the pieces.
