Notes

Tips to make the BEST Aloo Methi Sabzi:
  1. Use the freshest greens available, if fresh is not available, sub with frozen, with slightly varying results
  2. Do not overcook the greens, just let it wilt. Else the freshness will be lost.
  3. Add a teeny weeny pinch of sugar when the greens are cooking, it helps retain that vibrant colour
  4. Addition of onions is totally optional. On the days we don't use onions, we simply skip them, with no difference.
  5. Addition of homemade Sambhar powder here is entirely optional. This is the way my mom taught me, and we love the kick that this powder adds. You can skip if you like.
