After I edited the video, I was searching for the aloo methi sabji post. I wanted to put up the recipe link in the youtube description. To my surprise, I had not yet posted the aloo methi recipe as yet.

It is such an often made dish at my home that it was impossible that I couldn’t have posted it. But then, we take the things that are easily available for granted.

Better late than never, I guess. Here I am posting the aloo methi sabji recipe finally. I add methi leaves to almost anything and everything. The bittery taste goes so well with most of the other vegetables.

For instance, in this aloo methi recipe too, the sweetness of the potato goes so well with the bitterness of the methi leaves.

If possible try to get the 2 leaf methi. I personally love that taste more than the other more mature methi leaves.

Here in India, the tender methi leaves are so easily available, but when I was in Dubai I couldn’t get hold of it as often.

I used to grow them at home. The methi plants grow quite easily and it doesn’t require much water.

There are many benefits of fenugreek or methi.

  • The fenugreek or methi helps in constipation.
  • It is a great food to control diabetes.
  • The fenugreek or methi is good for reducing cholesterol.
  • They are good for kidney trouble.
  • Reduces menstrual discomfort.

What is the taste of fenugreek?

The fenugreek or methi has a slightly bitter and sweet taste. It can be a spice or a herb. The seeds are used as a spice whereas the leaves are used as a herb.

How to remove bitterness from methi leaves.

  1. Mix the methi leaves with salt and set them aside for sometime. Then rinse it thoroughly before cooking.
  2. Remove the leaves thoroughly from the stems. The tender stems leave a very bitter taste, so make sure to remove the stems thoroughly.
  3. Adding potato or paneer and other kinds of sweet food helps balance the bitterness of the methi leaves.
