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.
Ingredients :
- 1 cup curd
- 3 tablespoons besan

- 2-3 teaspoons of vinegar
- Pinch of Hing
- Pinch of haldi powder
- Few curry leaves
- Finely chopped Coriander leaves
Procedure :
- Boil Potatoes and chopped Methi leaves. You can microwave them in water for 10 minutes to speed up the process.
