Dying of hunger 2 roomies reach home at 930 in the night after a looong day at work! Plan: Methi aaloo n parathas!
The yummy Parathas are all a credit to roomie! So much so we ended up having 5 each n dunno where they went!!
The methi aaloo was a first time again... :) The trick: Pluck the leaves and add salt (without washing) and keep for about 15 mins. The 'kadvaa' will go away! Meanwhile.. fry the aaloos (can't cook methi for too long so the only way for the potatoes is to cut em up n fry em!) Mix it all together with onions, tomatoes and the standard masalas! Voila! Methi-a-la-aalu n Parathas!!
~ A very satisfied grin! :D
