Aloo Methi Ki Sabzi

Published: | LAST UPDATED ON: Feb 11, 2022 by Lubna Karim

Monday…..Monday….Monday….first working day of the week….the day which comes by taking a long 5 day week with it…..Monday’s are always bit lazy as I am still in the mood of weekend and most of the times I wonder whether my weekend was for 12 hours or less than that….because it vanishes so soon and starts yet another week. With so many plans ‘to do’ on weekend….and ending up doing nothing……and most of the times scheduling them for the next weekend…..weekend passes by……Roti’s for dinner has almost become routine at my home. Thinking of a different side dish every time is a bit tough thing. As I said earlier my pantry will never run out of potatoes. Yet times having a routine aloo ki sabzi is boring and it is said that variety is spice of life……Aloo is such a pleasant-tasting vegetable that it can flavour any other vegetable it is combined and cooked with. Aloo is not only good with vegetables, it also rocks with leafy green veggies. One such combination is Aloo Methi. When the delectable and versatile aloo is combined and cooked with methi ki bhaji/fenugreek leaves a robustic flavoured scrumptious recipe is born. Fenugreek leaves are rich with calcium, iron, vitamin C amd A.

    seriously, planning for a sabzi to go with roti is indeed a troublesome job. Aloo methi ki sabzi photos are great as usual. Can you give me some tips for taking such nice snaps?
