Steps

30 minutes

1

Separate the leaves of the methi and wash them thoroughly with water Now in a pan boil some water add one teaspoon of salt to it. Now blanch the methi leaves in it for about a minute. And them immediately put them in cold water. Hot water will remove all its bitterness and putting it in cold water wii help retain its green colour. Keep aside
2

Now take the potatoes, wash them thoroughly and peel them and cut them. Cut one potato into four halves
3

I have not boiled the potatoes, so i will be stir frying them in a pan with some oil in it for about a minute.,So that they get cooked easily.when they turn golden brown,switch off the gas and keep aside.
4

Now in a separate pan add a little oil and when its get heated add jeera to it, when it starts crackling add ginger garlic paste..Stir again. Till the raw smell of the ginger garlic paste is gone. Now add the chopped onions to it and cook till golden brown.
5

Now àdd chopped tomatoes and cook for a minute and add salt and chilli powder to taste. Cook for a minute.
6

Now add blanched methi leaves to it. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes on slow flame. Now add the fried potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes on slow flame. Check whether done or not as the methi is blanched and potatoes are fried so it will not take time to cook. Serve hot with chappati
