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.

                                                        

          

Ingredients 
methi(fenugreek leaves)-2 bunches
potatoes-1 large (cut in small cubes)
tomatoes-2 small finely chopped
onion-1 medium
garlic-5 to 6 pods
coriander leaves-handful-chopped finely

Spices
salt -as per taste
turmeric-1 teaspoon
coriander powder -1 teaspoon
chili powder-1 teaspoon
sugar-half teaspoon

Clean and wash the leaves well,then chop them as finely as possible.Rub salt to the chopped leave and leave for at least 10 minutes.After 10 minutes squeeze out the water in the leaves.The pic down here has the methi leaves squeezed ,so they look different.
