Aloo Gawar Methi ki Sabzi

Looking out for easy and yummy side dish recipes to go with roti or rice…??? Then give this Aloo Gawar Methi ki Sabzi recipe a try. This is purely vegan, gluten free and plant based recipe. Cooking in lockdown time is really challenging. And that too when Chennai’s largest Koyambedu (Fresh Fruit & Vegetable) Market being closed, getting fresh and variety vegetables is a big task now.

In this lockdown period there is a need to maintain a balance between nutrition, taste and health. Coming up with easy recipes which are kid friendly and can be made in less time is another challenge we are facing these days. I get requests to post some easy curries and side dish recipes to go with chapatis and rice. Lockdown or not, we always eat simple meals on weekdays. You can find many easy side dish recipes in blog Recipe Index.

Aloo Gavar ki Phalli Methi ki Bhaji

Though this combo sounds little strange, I want you give this recipe a try. Earthy and starchy aloo (Potatoes) when cooked together with long and slender guar (guvar) | lond beans (Cluster Beans) and nutty pungent smelling fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves with minimal Indian spices, the taste is incredible. When in hurry, I make this in pressure cooker, but you can even make this on stove top. This sabzi taste best when served hot with rotis | chapatis. You can also serve this as a side dish with rice and dal.
