Hubby hurried me into the car worried that I might start looking for more books as he and lil angel were tired and hungry but the enthusiasm in finding these two books renewed my energy level.
After I came home,this baby potato and fenugreek recipe was the first one I tried out.Catch a glimpse of that book and on it is my version of the dish.
I altered the recipe slightly and here it is..
You need:
Baby potato with skin -500grams
Fenugreek leaves-500 grams
Mustard leaves-1/2 teaspoon
Jeera/Cumin seeds-1 teaspoon
Ajwain/Carom seeds-1/2 teaspoons
Red chilli powder-1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder- a pinch
Oil-1 tablespoons
Salt to taste
- Wash the potatoes and pressure cook them until done but not mushy.Peel if required.
- Wash and chop the fenugreek leaves.
- Heat oil in a pan and put in mustard,jeera and carom seeds.
- When it splutters add the turmeric powder and put in the fenugreek leaves.Stir once in a while.
- Cook leaves till almost done,add red chilli powder,salt and potatoes.Mix well.
- Cover and cook for a few minutes.Stir in between.
- Serve hot with steamed rice.
Doesn't it look delicious!!!!
Note:
- For best taste,use fresh fenugreek leaves
- If you don't have baby potatoes,cube the usual potatoes and follow the recipe
- In case you don't want to pressure cook the potatoes,start from step 3-you can add the potatoes to the pan with the seasonings and sprinkle water to cook the potatoes.When the potatoes are 80% done,add fenugreek leaves and cook till potatoes and green are soft.
