be cooked yet they will be firm and crunchy.
Wash
and peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into medium sized pieces. Take these
potato pieces into a microwave safe bowl and add 20ml water. Place this bowl in
a microwave oven and cover it partially. Cook the potato pieces on high power
for 3minutes. Allow one minute standing time before removing the bowl from the
oven. You will observe that the potato pieces are three-fourths cooked. The
potato pieces should be cooked but they should retain their shape and should
not be mushy.
While
selecting fenugreek leaves always opt for small bunch. For every stalk there
should not be more than 4 to 5 leaves. Such tender fenugreek leaves are less
bitter compared to the matured ones. Cut the roots of the fenugreek stalks and
wash them thoroughly. Then take 50gms of such washed tender fenugreek leaves
and chop them finely. Take the chopped fenugreek leaves into a microwave safe
bowl and add 15ml water. Place this bowl in a microwave oven and cover it
partially. Cook the fenugreek leaves on high power for 1 ½ minutes. Allow one
minute standing time before removing the bowl from the oven.
Wash
and chop tomatoes into small pieces. Take the tomato pieces into a microwave
safe bowl. Place this bowl in a microwave oven and cover it partially. Cook the
tomato pieces on high power for 3 minutes. Allow one minute standing time
before removing the bowl from the oven.
Peel
the onion and cut it into medium sized pieces.
Method:
Heat
a pan and add oil to it. When the oil is hot add the onion pieces and fry
stirring well. When the onions are transparent add the cooked capsicum and
potato pieces. Add salt and mix well. Now add the turmeric powder and mix well.
Cook the vegetables covered on medium heat. After 3 minutes of cooking, remove
the lid and mix. Add the cooked fenugreek leaves and mix well. Fry the
vegetables till dry. Now add the cooked tomato pieces and mix well. After
adding tomatoes the curry appears gravy. Fry the curry till all the moisture is
absorbed. Then add the red chili powder and fry for a minute. Now the curry is
ready to serve. Transfer the curry into a serving bowl. Serve the curry hot
with Roti, Paratha or even Rice.
Points to Notice:
If
one doesn’t get tender fenugreek leaves use the matured ones. Pluck the leaves
from the stalks and use them for this dish.
Those
who wish to remove the bitterness from fenugreek leaves do as follows:
Pluck
the leaves from the stalks and add liberal quantity of salt. Mix well and keep
aside for 30 minutes. Water oozes from the leaves due to salt. Press between
your palms and remove all the water from the leaves. This way all the
bitterness goes away with the water. Please remember that this process drains
away important nutritional elements like vitamins etc, but the taste
improves .
Fenugreek
leaves have a peculiar smell. The amount used in this recipe will give a nice
flavor to the dish. As you have observed we have not used any Masala powders to
this dish. All the flavors come from the vegetables used. Capsicum is having a
special flavor. To balance the bitterness of fenugreek leaves we use tomatoes.
All these flavors when get mixed while cooking brings a unique taste to the
dish.
Simple
yet tasty dish which can be served with rotis as well as rice.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
