Dhaba style aloo methi recipe | Aloo Methi Recipe - A simple, nutritious recipe prepared mainly with potato/aloo and fresh fenugreek leaves/methi.  

Winter is the time when fresh methi leaves are found in the market. The tender aromatic leaves are used in cooking. This recipe is very popular in the Punjab region. But with time it gains its popularity in other parts of the country. Nowadays, this aloo methi ki sabzi is a must on the menu of any restaurants or roadside dhabas.

Methi leaves are the warehouse of fiber and valuable nutrients and are good for diabetic, constipation and people with a liver problem. Due to its high nutritional value, it is always advisable to add this leafy vegetable in our regular diet.  

However, many people don't like the bitter taste of methi. In that case, just mix some salt to the methi leaves and set aside for 10 minutes. Then squeeze, the fenugreek leaves to discard all the bitter water and use it. Even I will suggest not to chop the leaves unless you are in a hurry. Just pluck all the leaves and use that.

This dhaba style aloo methi recipe pairs best with plain rice, jeera rice or roti.
