Advance preparation

Methi leaves need to be picked, washed thoroughly and chopped; potatoes should be peeled and cubed before starting.

Instructions:

For the sabzi

  • In a frying pan, heat half the mustard oil. Add potato cubes and saute for 4-5 minutes on moderate flame, until lightly caramelized on all sides. Remove potato and set aside.
  • In the same frying pan, add the remaining mustard oil and place on medium flame. When the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and allow them to crackle.
  • Add onions, ginger and green chillies and fry until onions brown lightly, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, methi, coriander powder, turmeric, red chilli powder and salt. Saute on medium flame for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add garam masala and amchur. Mix well and turn off the flame.

Serving guidance

Serve hot with phulka, roti or curd; best eaten fresh while the methi retains its aroma and the potatoes hold their shape.
