How to make Aloo Gajar Methi awesome
Chop your potatoes and carrots in small cubes to cook them evenly till the core. If fresh methi is not in season, you can use crushed Kasuri methi to be sprinkled towards the end of the dish. If there is any leftover, mash it up and use as a filling in wheat flour for wholesome aloo gajar methi parathas and serve it a dollop of homemade white butter and accompaniment of curds, pickle or freshly ground coriander-mint chutney and ketchup. If you prefer your curry with gravy, add buttermilk or curds for added flavour and nutrition. Garnish with a generous quantity of fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice.
