Alu Methi(fenugreek with potatoes)

     I consider methi to be a very versatile green,the reason being so many different preparations can be made with it.Methi muthiya,methi paratha,methi matar malai,methi pakora or fritters and the list goes on.I personally love methi because of the distinctive aroma it gives out on being sauteed.Today I am going to share a very easy recipe with very few ingredients, alu methi   or fenugreek leaves with potatoes.
