Notes
1. To make Aloo – Methi – Replace carrots with 2 potatoes (aloo), boiled, peeled and cubed. Then follow the same procedure as above, adding the boiled-cubed potatoes instead of raw carrots.
2. Wash and chop fenugreek leaves just before you add to any dish. Washing them too early can make them soggy. Also chopping them and keeping aside will make the dish bitter. So cut and add immediately to any recipe/ hot pan. And do not chop the leaves too fine.
