Aloo Methi

A popular dish in many regions of India which my daughter tried recently.. its easy and tasty.
Here is how can make delicious Aloo Methi..

Ingredients : 

1 cup Methi leaves
1 Potato
1 Tbsp Cumin Seeds
1 Tbsp Oil
1 Green Chili
A pinch of Asafoetida
1 Tspn Dhaniya Powder
A pinch of Aamchur

Method : 

Peel potato and dice it. Wash it and keep it aside. Cut green chili into small pieces. Clean methi and cut it. Wash it thoroughly and keep it aside.
Take a pan and add Oil. Once the oil is heated add asafoetida, green chili  and cumin seeds to it.
As the seeds start to crackle add diced potato to it. Regularly stir the potatoes till they are half cooked. You may cover the pan with a lid if you want to cook it faster.
Add methi to potatoes and stir well. Cover the lid for a while. Once the methi starts reducing and turns to darker green add salt to taste, a pinch of aamchur powder and dhaniya powder to it. Mix well and allow it to cook till the potatoes are completely cooked.

Aloo methi is ready to serve with Roti/Paratha.
