MIXED VEGGIE AND METHI CURRY

One of the most healthy green leafy vegetable used widely all over India is Methi. Used in seed and leafy form this is packed with full of nutrition. The leaves are bitter, but when cooked with other ingredients in the right way tastes awesome. Kasuri methi, which is the dried methi leaves powder is commonly used in many dishes. But recipes with fresh methi leaves are limited. Today I am going to present a very delicious and tasty recipe with methi and mixed vegetables.

INGREDIENTS

• Methi leaves                         1 cup(packed)
• Mixed vegetables                 2 cups
• Ginger garlic paste               1 Tsp.
• Jeera                                     1 tsp.
• Onion                                   1 large
• Tomato                                 1 large
• Salt                                       to taste

PROCEDURE

Chop the onion, tomato and make a paste.

Boil all the veggies and set aside. I have used potatoes, carrots, beans, peas, corn.

Heat oil in a pan. Add the jeera, ginger garlic paste. Add the onion- tomato paste. 

Add a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover and cook till the paste looses its raw flavor and oil oozes out.

Now add the finely chopped methi leaves. 

Cook till you feel a nice aroma from the methi leaves. 

Cover and cook for 5 more minutes.(low flame only)

Add the boiled veggies. Add salt, sugar, chilly powder.

Add enough water, cook for another 10 minutes.

Finally add the well beaten curds, gram masala.

Serve with any pulav or roti or naan.
