Aloo methi is a popular Punjabi dish. Methi has a tangy, bitter taste and I love it with green chilly raita or ghee-topped chapati.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

  • ½ medium tomato, chopped

  • 3 medium potatoes, chopped, or more to taste

  • 2 cups fenugreek leaves

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • salt to taste

  • ½ medium lemon, juiced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat ghee in a shallow pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds. When cumin seeds crackle, add turmeric. Add tomato and cook for 5 minutes.

  2. Add potatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until they soften, about 10 minutes. Add fenugreek leaves and cook until wilted, about 5 more minutes.

  3. Add water, cover, and cook until fenugreek starts smelling fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Add salt.

  4. Mix well. Sprinkle with lemon juice and garnish with cilantro.

Cook's Note:

You can substitute 2 teaspoons tomato puree diluted in 1 teaspoon water for the chopped tomato.
