Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 2 cups Fresh fenugreek leaves (methi)
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 whole Green chilies
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes and set aside.
Wash the fenugreek leaves thoroughly, chop them, and set aside.
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they become aromatic.
Split green chilies lengthwise, then add them to the pan and sauté for another 30 seconds.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and stir well to coat them with the oil and spices.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the potatoes. Mix well to combine.
Cover the pan and let the potatoes cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes are about halfway cooked, add the chopped fenugreek leaves to the pan.
Stir everything together and cover the pan again, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the fenugreek leaves are well cooked.
Remove the lid, sprinkle garam masala over the dish, and mix well.
Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and stir once more.
Remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish or with chapati or naan.
