Aloo Methi Curry | Vegan Potato and Fresh Fenugreek Leaves Curry
Today I am posting one of my favourite ways to cook the spuds, Aloo Methi Curry! Soft, almost melt in mouth potatoes cooked with bitter fenugreek leaves in sweet and tangy tomato gravy along with few aromatic spices makes this dish a crowd pleaser! I cook this classic Aloo Methi Curry at least once in a month as it is a quite simple recipe that goes well with rice or with any Indian flatbreads. I use just a handful of spices as I like to keep the fresh flavour of fenugreek leaves to come through without the overpowering taste from spices. Feel free to add your favourite spice mixtures and you will still be pleasantly surprised to find a bowl of delicious tasting spuds with greens.
