Ingredients
Produce
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Fenugreek Leaves fresh
- 1/4 cup Coriander freshly chopped
- 1 Chili finely chopped, green
- 1/2 cup Fenugreek Sprouts
Aromatics and Spices
- 1 medium Onion thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Garlic crushed
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Oil
- 3 tbsp Oil vegetable or canola
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. This releases the garlic's flavor into the oil.
- Add the sliced onions and stir-fry until they soften and turn translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the fenugreek leaves, cilantro, and green chilies. Sauté for another minute until the greens wilt slightly.
- Add the cubed potatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin seeds. Stir well to coat the potatoes with the spices.
- Add the salt and fenugreek sprouts. Mix gently to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking. The potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork.
- Serve hot with rotis, puris, or rice.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a deeper flavor, try sautéing the potatoes until golden brown before adding the methi leaves and sprouts. This caramelizes the edges and adds a subtle sweetness to balance the slight bitterness of fenugreek.
- If you prefer a less bitter taste, briefly blanch the methi leaves and sprouts in hot water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess water before using them in the sabzi.
- Add a handful of chopped tomatoes along with the onions for a tangy note, or finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors just before serving.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of oil for sautéing the potatoes and spices.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. Remove the seeds for a milder flavor.
- A pinch of asafoetida (hing) added along with the spices can help with digestion and enhance the flavor of the dish.
Storage Instructions
- This sabzi can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent drying out, and stir in fresh coriander leaves just before serving for a burst of freshness.
