Aloo Methi (Dry)

This winning combination of potatoes and fresh Methi leaves, in a dry curry form, is very common in every home in Punjab. I love the mild bitterness of methi and its combination with potato, Goes great with rotis /chapatis.Aloo Methi does not need one either as it must be the most popular North Indian potato and leafy green combo side-dish
