How to Make Aloo Methi

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and fry until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and 2-3 dry red chilies (adjust to your spice preference), and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste), and 1 medium tomato, finely chopped.
  5. Sauté for another minute until the tomatoes soften slightly.
  6. Add 1 cup fresh fenugreek leaves (methi), 1 cup water, and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the fenugreek leaves are wilted and tender.
  7. Add 500g potatoes, peeled and cubed, and 1/2 cup water. Mix well and cover.
  8. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
