Alloo methi curry

Hi,

Here comes the first one................

Today we are gonna talk all about the flavors of aloo, tomato and methi. When all the flavors mix..... it would a great curry for Rotis. We can also have it with rice. The very thought of aloo methi brought water in my mouth.....

I just closed my eyes for a moment and can feel the taste of aloo nicely cooked in tomato puree with methi.... wow ... it is wonderful...... so lets rock and roll.....

First take baby potatoes, if available else take potatoes and boil them . Peel the skin of potatoes and cut them to medium size pieces . Chop washed methi in to fine pieces. Now its time for tomato puree. Boil water in a bowl and wait until we see boils on the top of the water. Then put tomatoes in the hot boiling water and reduce the flame after 2min. Let them boil for 5 min. This would reduce the bitterness of the tomato. now peel of the tomato skin and blend it or grind it into a paste.

Heat oil in a pan and now roast the boiled potatoes until they are golden brown. This gives curry a magnificent
color and oil gets the aloo flavor which gives the gravy little thickness and a fine taste . Now remove potatoes and let jeera seeds crackle in the oil. Then add curry leaves and methi, cover pan with a lid and let it cook for 2 min. Add tomato puree , red chill powder , coriander powder , jeera powder, salt and turmeric. Let tomato puree cook for 5 to 7 min and add potatoes . Let it cook for 5 more min and our aloo methi is ready...........

Happy cooking.

Thanks,
Mamatha
