  • 1 cup Methi - chopped
  • 1 Onion - medium, chopped
  • 3 - 4 tbsps Sesame Chili powder - (recipe follows)
  • 1 tsp Mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds

Sesame-Chili Powder (Nuvvula Podi):

  • 1 cup Sesame seeds
  • 5 - 6 Chilies Dry Red
  • to taste Salt

Instructions

  • Heat 1tbsp oil in a saute pan; add mustard and cumin seeds and once they start to splutter add onions and curry leaves and cook until onions are lightly browned around the edges.
  • Add the cooked potatoes and methi leaves; cover and cook until the leaves are wilted and cooked. Add turmeric and salt (keep in mind that sesame-chili powder has salt in it), cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the sesame-chili powder; turn off the heat and serve with rice and dal of your choice for a complete meal.
  • To make the Sesame-Chili powder: Dry roast sesame seeds and red chilies on medium-low flame until sesame seeds turn light brown.
  • Grind the seeds along with salt into a coarse powder. Make sure not to over blend the mixture, because that will make it into a paste rather than a powder.

Notes

This can be served along with rice or idli or dosa or as a seasoning for curries.
