Potatoes and fenugreek (methi) leaves are a lovely combination together. This aloo methi recipe has a lot of flavour and bitterness of methi (fenugreek) leaves combined with the earthy flavour and taste of potatoes.It is less spiced and a dry vegetable sabzi.
You can use any vegetable oil but I always prefer to made it in mustard oil and the recipe had that pungent mustard taste to it, which we like.
You can make it with regular potatoes or baby potatoes, with either of them, the recipe tastes good. I usually serve aloo methi with rotis or plain parathas and curd. You could even make this dish as a side vegetable with your main course.

When the aloo methi done serve the aloo methi ki sabzi with parathas, rotis, or rice-dal.
