POTATO CAPSICUM METHI PORIYAL / ALOO METHI CASICUM SABJI

Hi All,

Aloo methi is my husband's favorite poriyal . After making pizza there was a capsicum left over in my fridge for a week .So added the same in my Aloo methi and prepared ALOO CAPSICUM METHI FRY.

Methi is very good in controlling blood cholesterol , you can add either fresh or dried methi leaves.I always have a box of dry methi and I use to add it in most of gravies and also with potato dishes.

Actual Aloo methi fry they wont add any water for boiling , the entire potato boils in oil but as I don't want to add much oil , I add little water while boiling.

The simple recipe is as below,

INGREDIENTS :

Potato – 3 nos ( medium sized).

Capsicum – 1 no ( medium sized).

Gingelly oil – 2 tsp.

Cumin – 1/2 tsp.

Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp.

Dry methi leaves – 3 tsp.
