Potatoes with Fenugreek Leaves is a hit combination. Aloo Methi or potatoes with fenugreek leaves is an Indian vegetable side dish which is healthy. This potato recipe is easy, tasty and delicious side dish with minimal ingredients. This is my first recipe in my blog with methi leaves. This nutrients packed leaves taste special when added to any curry recipes or dry dishes. Moreover potato and methi leaves is a super combo as their taste complement each other. Though fenugreek leaves have a strong flavor, Indians loved this taste when cooked along with potatoes and spices.
