Aloo Methi
There are times when we want to come home to a simple meal. Warm and healthy! Today was that day, I think so.
1 bunch of Methi (fenugreek leaves) was waiting for me. Now there are many dishes that can be cooked using methi. I would have almost opted for the Methi thepla but instead went for the simple Aloo Methi and Paratha.
The parathas can be made as per ur choice, plain, thick, layered whatever! What I am about to share is the most trusted Aloo Methi recipe. A simple yet exotic dish. The combination can almost give a tough competition to any Dum Aloo, Paneer Makhni or tikka.
Give it a try!
