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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
