It is the last week of the year and as it goes every year, this year also seems to have passed too quickly. I was almost not going to post anything in between all the festivities and vacations but decided against it. My final week for BM for the year is ‘Redo old posts’ and this is one of the themes that I enjoyed the most this year. I was able to go back and fix many of my old posts which were in absolute need of new pictures. My first post for this week is this delicious Aloo Kasuri Methi recipe. If you are looking to make something very quick and with very basic ingredients, then this Aloo Kasuri Methi is something you have to try. I always have a big pack of kasuri methi in my pantry as I use it to flavor pulao and many different subzi. If you are looking to make a gravy subzi then give this Aloo Methi rasedar Subzi a try. This uses the exact same ingredients but is a no-onion and no-garlic dish and can be made during festival days. This specific Aloo Kasuri Methi recipe can also be made without onions. Aloo Kasoori Methi is also a Vegan recipe and is a perfect one for weeknights.
What is Kasuri / Kasoori Methi?
Kasuri methi / Kasoori methi is dried fenugreek leaves. It is used as a flavoring agent in Indian cooking. Compared to the fresh leaves, the dried ones have a very strong flavor and a very long shelf life. India is the largest producer of fenugreek in the world.

Potato being one of the most versatile vegetables pairs very well with kasuri methi in this simple yet very flavorful recipe.
