Indian foods are not well represented at the Indian restaurants. Traditionally, locally grown freshly picked seasonal vegetables were cooked into multiple varieties like aloo – methi, gobi(cauliflower), bhindi(Lady’s finger) etc., and all veggies were served together in one meal with rice, chapati, curd and papad. Fresh vegetables had a unique natural flavour that was considered healthy for the body.
The traditional rules of Indian cooking is mentioned in Ayurvedic books, where it is recommended to cook on low heat in covered brass pans for hours as it allows the greens to soak in all the spices that enhances the taste, at the same time as, preserve the natural nutrition. The herbs and spices were added in a minimal amount in such recipes and the taste of vegetable was the most dominant flavour.
Most common dish served by Indian restaurants or tiffin thalis that give creamy non-vegetarian or vegetarian curry with chapatti. Local Indian dhaba rarely put methi aloo on their menu but some hotels offer it where it is prepared with stir-fried potatoes and fresh fenugreek leaves that can be made into a dry snack version or a curry with tomato sauce and ginger garlic paste.
Home-cooked Aloo methi is made into a healthy version with minimal oil mostly without the ginger garlic paste, although, one can even add it to suit individual taste. The potatoes are cooked in heated oil with asafoetida, cumin and dry red chillies. Fresh methi is cut near the roots, washed and cut into small pieces before adding to the dish. The basic masala gives a unique flavour to the dish but the taste of the vegetable dominates.
Aloo methi is a side dish mostly served in the Indian thali as one of the side dish - a dry vegetable. It can be eaten with roti, jeera rice or pilau, and a curry dish. The meal can be complemented with mint-yoghurt, pickles and salad.
