Aloo-methi

Ingredients: 1 Cup dried kasoori methi or fresh methi leaves, 3 boiled potato, 3 cloves crushed garlic, 1 tbsp mustard oil,1-2 dried whole red chilli, salt per taste, red chilli powder per taste, pinch of astofedia, ½ tsp cumin seeds, 1 tsp dry mango powder.

Method: Wash the kasoori methi in warm water properly and soak it for 10 minutes. If you are using fresh methi then wash the methi leaves before chopping to retain the aroma. Peel the boiled potato and cut into big pieces . In a pan heat the oil on high. Put the cumin seeds, whole chilli in the hot oil. Now add the astofedia, crushed garlic. When the garlic is little brown add the methi leaves and fry them for 4-5 minutes on medium heat so that water is evaporated. Add chilli powder, salt and boiled potato to the pan and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. At the last add the dry mango powder.

Enjoy the Aloo-methi with Parantha/Chapatti. This one is one of my favorites veg and I simply enjoy it with a bowl full of plain curd.
