Kick starting the event,I would like to share a simple recipe that I often prepare using fenugreek leaves is the potato -fenugreek leaves masala.A perfect one for chapathis and delicious too.Hope u'll enjoy this recipe!!
Ingredients
fenugreek leaves a bunch
potato 2 medium sized
garlic cloves 3
onion 1 medium sliced
turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
chilly powder 1/2 tsp
urad dal 1 tsp
salt
oil 2 tsp
Method
-Cut the root portion of the fenugreek bunch and then dip the whole bunch with stems in a large bowl of water.Wash it 4-5 times to remove any dirt or mud.
-Pluck out the edible leaves,disacrd all yellow leaves and cut the stem into small bits till you reach the hard stem.Discard the hard stem.Keep aside.
-Microwave or pressure cook the potatoes.I usually peel,wash and cube the potatoes and place it in a microwave.Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes to cook.(If you are pressure cooking,then peel the skin and cut into cubes.)
-Heat oil in a pan,pop the urad dal.Wait till its slightly browned.Then add & saute onions till translucent.Then add sliced garlic cloves,saute.
-Add the spice powders and saute.
-Add the fenugreek leaves,toss it well.Cover and cook for 7 minutes.
-Uncover the lid and add the cubed potatoes to the wilted leaves.Add salt now.
-Keep stirring until the masala is coated and the leaves are cooked well,and the water content dries up.
-Toss it well adjust salt and serve it with chapathis!!
Servings~ 3 adults
NOTES
* A big bunch yields only very less masala when cooked.So,buy your leaves bunch accordingly.
So,Looking forward for more yummy & flavorful dishes,you can also link all your old or new recipes with fenugreek or green chilies as main ingredients of the recipe !!
