Aloo Methi Curry (Potato and Fenugreek Leaves)



Aloo Methi Curry (Potato and Fenugreek Leaves)
A simple and healthy side dish for chapati/naan. Methi and potato is a wonderful combo. Usually I make a dry stir fry version. I used malai/cream in this recipe but it is optional.

Ingredients
Potato - 2 medium
Frozen peas- 3/4 cup
Fenugreek leaves- 1 cup washed and roughly chopped
Onion- 1 medium
Green chilly-2
Ginger garlic paste- 1 1/2 tsp
Tomato puree- 1/3 cup
Turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
Chilly powder- 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder- 1 tsp
Chole masala- 1 tsp
Cumin powder- 1/4 tsp
Heavy cream- 1/4 cup
Cumin seeds- 1/4 tsp
salt to taste
oil


Cut potato into cubes. Cook potatoes along with green peas, turmeric, green chilly and salt and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. When it splutter add chopped onion and salt saute for a minute. Add ginger garlic paste and saute till raw flavor disappears. Next add tomatoes and cook for two minutes. Finally add all the spice powders, chole masala (or you can use garam masala ) and the chopped methi leaves. Stir fry for two minutes and add the cooked potatoes Adjust consistency by adding warm water. Allow this to simmer in medium flame. Just before taking off from stove add the cream and mix well. Serve with chapati/poori.




Hope you will all enjoy!

Palpayasam

Paal payasam/Palpayasam Happy Onam to all my friends and readers! Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Onam!!! Onam is finally here and no celebration is complete without a sweet dessert. I am sure no Malayali can think of a sadhya without a payasam. Pal payasam is definitely a star,my all time favorite :) This is a rich delicious payasam where the rice is cooked in milk till it attains a creamy texture. The milk gets reduced and the flavor and taste is very much  like palkova. It has very little ingredients, but it is time consuming and  needs a little patience to prepare this dessert. Here I have used basmathi rice but it is best if we use payasam ari (rice) or rose matta rice.Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Basmathi Rice- 2 hand full ( or rose matta rice) Milk- 5 cup Sugar- 1/2 cup Cardamon crushed-4-5 Cashew nut- 8-10 Wash and soak rice for one hour. In a heavy bottom pan pour milk and bring it to a bo...

Paneer Bhurji

Paneer Bhurji  Paneer Bhurji is easy to make, flavorful  and delicious side dish for rotis/chapatis. Paneer(Indian style cottage cheese) is now becoming part of my regular grocery list. Back in Kerala we never tried cooking with paneer. My parents love spicy food and so mom never experimented cooking mild gravy dishes with paneer.The only place you get a chance to try paneer dishes is at restaurants. Now I am buying paneer regularly and hunting new recipes to try.  Paneer burji is the easiest of all and perfect for beginners.It is made with scrambled paneer, tomatoes and flavorful spices. Healthy and protein packed this is also  the  easiest stuffing for chapati wraps. I tried this for my kids lunch box and it was a success. Ingredients Crumbled Paneer- 2 cup Onion- 1 medium Tomato- 1 medium Green chilly chopped-2 Ginger garlic paste- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp Chilly powder- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds- 1/4 tsp Garam Masala- 1/4 tsp Cha...
