Thank you for your clear instructions for this lovely dish. The methi leaves impart a unique fragrant taste and tie together the other ingredients of this dish quite nicely.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
Thanks for this recipe.
Can we use dried methi (kasoori methi) instead of fresh? Also, when potatoes are being cooked, I assume the falme is in medium heat?
Thanks,
Pavithra

Hi Pavithra,
If you can’t find fresh methi, try the freezer section of your local Indian grocery store. Frozen works just as well. If you absolutely cannot find either, then kasoori methi will work, but the taste is slightly different as with any fresh versus dry herbs.
And yes, the flame should be medium.
