Aloo Kasuri Methi Dry

Aloo Kasuri Methi or Potatoes Spiced with dried Fenugreek Leaves Potato curries are always a favourite in my place, certain days of the week we do not have garlic or onion at home, this dish is by far the tastiest potato or aloo curry I have made, the aroma is great and the taste is even more amazing than most! If there any leftovers, I usually make it into a sandwich it tastes amazing! The trick is to get the right balance of spices for this recipe, the ingredients aren’t too many, but the taste is incredible! Writing about it. Now, I just want it eat it again with fresh roti’s. If you have cooked potatoes and don’t know what to make this is it! Kasuri Methi or Dried Fenugreek leaves are readily available in most shops, the aroma and taste of this dish comes through only through this ingredient. Also, the addition of Kalonji (Nigella Seeds) instead of of Mustard Seeds gives it a warm aroma. Do you want any recipe in particular? Do you like cooking, but find it tedious? Take a look at my recipes, they’re easy to follow and ready real quick!  [recipe_card]
