Aloo Methi/Poatoes with Fenugreek leaves(Dry version)

Every week I buy a bunch of fresh methi leaves and make dhal with 3/4 th of the bunch with the remaining leaves make either methi chicken or aloo methi.Even though I make aloo methi for lunch or dinner often I couldn't click the picture for the blog.Yesterday I made this one in the afternoon and finally got a chance to click in the natural light.
This is a simple and flavorful recipe which goes very well with rice and rotis or it can be used as a filling for sandwich or to make a roll with wraps.
I keep this curry in the roti or wrap,drizzle some tomato ketchup,roll it and serve it as a roll for my son.Here is the recipe......
