This is very simple methi aloo dry side dish that can be eaten with parathas or rotis. It is very quick to make and goes well with any meal setting.

Peel and cut the potatos in small pieces
Wash and chop the methi leaves in small pieces
In a deep frying pan, add the oil and let it heat
Put the cumin seeds in hot oil
When cumin seeds become brown, add the potatos pieces and chopped methi leaves
Add the turmeric powder and salt
Add the garam masala powder and coriander powder
Cover the frying pan and let it cook for 5-10 mins on low flame
1. If you have microwave oven, in place of cooking it on gas, you can also put it in a covered microwave container at 900W for 6.5 minutes
You can see if it is cooked properly by trying to pierce the potatos by a fork, it should not be hard at all
When ready, you can garnish it with chopped coriander leaves.

I use slightly less salt so one can adjust the quantity of salt to the taste, but it is prefer to keep less salt and add later
