Hello peeps!!
Hope all of you are safe and sound. With covid-19 it is increasing becoming difficult to go out and grocery shop freely in any super store. Once a week or 2 is al we go out and get all the required supplies. Frozen veggies are coming handy now a days. So glad to have loaded my freezer with veggies, especially the Indian vegetables like methi or palak or okra or karela (bitter gourd).
Today, I am sharing a simple everyday vegetable side dish Aloo methi baingan. A simple and delicious mixed vegetable stir fry that is a lovely complement to dal and rice or roti or parathas.
This is a nourishing dish made with veggies like potatoes, eggplant and calcium and iron rich methi (fenugreek leaves). It uses minimal spices and yet it is extremely delicious. It has a slight tang from the tomatoes that I have used in this dish. I have also added a little crushed peanut in the end which adds a slight crunch to the methi baingan. It is an optional step, you can skip this step if you desire.
Se lets hop to the recipe for the detailed step by step recipe.
