Introduction

Though ordinary in looks, Aloo methi- the famous north Indian curry is full of flavor. Boiled and quartered baby potatoes are sautéed with methi (fresh fenugreek leaves) and generously flavored with pan grilled garlic, onions and green chillies - the result is one simple yet delicious curry, which tastes great when combined with rice and dal or with chapatis.
