1. Try using a stainless steel pan and heat it up till it passes the mercury ball water test. Quickly add the oil and ‘Sweat’ out the onions on a low flame.
2. In a separate stainless steel pan fry the potatoes in a high flame for 10-12mins with turmeric and only season with salt at the very end. Add the two together and resume your recipe. I added tomato puree to get some gravy or curry feel to it.
Think of this as the French twist on the classic Indian dish.

I’m glad I found you girls! I love Indian food, some of my Indian recipes have worked out well and others haven’t. Soaking the mehti is one tip that I needed to know! Thanks for the videos!

@UltimateRajput
Well, of the three spices, turmeric is the only one you could safely add to the hot oil. The other two will burn instantly.

@ShowMeTheCurry you’re welcome. Though could you please tell me why you added the 3 spices at the end ? I mean, the punjabi inside me forces me to add all masalas during tadka just so that they get fried.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback…we’re glad you enjoyed it.

Hey Anuja & Hetal: I tried this recipe and it came out just perfect. The only change I made is I soaked fenugreek leaves with lots of salt for more than half an hour and also I added turmeric & garam masala( lack of coriander masala !
) at the time of tadka instead of at the end. The dish came out wonderfully and not a bit of bitterness. I love this recipe because this is by far the simplest one.

Due you love Hot and spicey Curry.take a look my profile for Mutton Vindaloo.

i am suprised to see turmeric powder being used at the end of the dish, as we use it after the onions being put into.

@kithrakat
Actually, methi has a bitter flavor…not minty at all. However, don’t let that scare you. It is a very unique flavor
September 20th, 2010 at 21:20
looks wonderful , so methi has a mint flavor? That would be a wonderful combination for a side dish for my family.
September 20th, 2010 at 21:44
@jbirsner : Yes, you can use dried
methi. Word of caution, dried methi
is more potent so use sparingly!
September 20th, 2010 at 22:41
Can you used dried feugreek/methi leaves if you don’t have fresh?
September 20th, 2010 at 23:38
interesting

Salt is “to taste”
September 21st, 2010 at 01:18
Everything looks good exept i think there is too much salt used. Maybe in India salt is not considered a bad thing.
