Aloo Baingan Methi with Kasundi is a flavorful and nutritious side dish .It is a medley of vegetables that combines stir fried potatoes and eggplant along with fresh fenugreek leaves and tempered with cumin, fennel, methi seeds and dry red chilli. Garlic and onion stir fried makes the dish all the more flavourful. This dish pairs very well with dal and rice or any Indian flatbread.
In this recipe I have paired methi leaves from #week1, sesame seeds from #week2, and kasundi from #week4 to make this flavourful side dish.
