Chak's Methi Aloo Dum

Chak's Methi Aloo Dum. 

 

Its cold and wet outside. I'm sitting by the window, feeling more and more depressed as the skies turn darker with turgid clouds rolling in. 

No, this won't do. Lets get moving folks. The rain will come and the rain will go but it's up to us to make some sunshine in our own lives. What better than a hearty, filling and comfort inducing meal of Methi Aloo Dum with hot tandoori roti! Here goes!

Ingredients:- 

500 gms small potatoes

1 ½ cup fresh Methi leaf (Fenugreek leaves), finely chopped

1 tsp whole Methi (Fenugreek).

1 tsp whole Jeera

2 tsp Jeera powder.

4-5 green chillies, chopped.

3 tbsp Mustard oil

 Salt to taste.

Preparation:- Boil the potatoes without peeling. After the potatoes have cooled, take off the skin and keep aside. Heat oil in a deep pan and when the oil starts smoking, add the Methi seeds & Jeera seeds. Cover the pan and when the Methi& Jeera stop crackling, add all potatoes and stir fry for 3 / 4 minutes. Now add Jeera powder and the chillies and stir for 2-3 minutes. Add chopped  Methi leaf and salt to taste. Cook uncovered on medium heat so that the Methi leaves don't turn black.

 Serve hot with Tandoori Roti.
