When I brought methi leaves this weekend for some reason it is smaller than normal size but didn’t notice it when I picked up. So when I want to make Methi gravy it was not enough .. I remembered aloo methi my mum makes so I have decided to do it. Even my husband who is not a big fan of dry vegetable for roti liked this one. 
Ingredients:


Aloo / Potato – 4 (medium size. cook and peel the skin. Cut them into 1/2 inch cubes)
