Alu Methi Kadhi

There is a sweet history behind this recipe. It dates back to Feb, 2005 . One fine night when I walked into the kitchen there was nothing but a cup of curds and some methi leaves in the fridge. Potatoes are usually always there at home and I needed a curry that goes with rice. Thats how alu methi kadhi was created. Now its my husband’s favorite dish and is made regularly at home.
