Aloo Methi with Posto (Potato sautéed with Fenugreek and Poppy Seeds)
The debate titled - “Aloo Methi vs Aloo Posto ?” , has been taking place for years between North Indians and East Indians. The folks from east love a plate of Aloo Posto on any normal weekday and same is the case with Aloo Methi and the North Indians. The ease to make the two dishes, the high Carb content of the Soft Cooked Aloo(Potato) , the poppy effect or the herby effect makes these two a must in all Indian households. They both compliment Rice with Lentils (Daal) or Roti/Chapatis and that makes them ample choice for both Lunch and Supper times. I have had both growing up as kid and comfort food doesn’t get better than this. I thought of adding both the dishes together and bring an end to this debate, trust me together they taste better.
Presenting my version of this Quick and fast recipe ,I have used very minimum spices and ingredients to keep it simple yet effective for your palate. Do try and let me know in comments below.
