Ingredients
For making potato dried fenugreek leaves, you need:
Potatoes: 5 Yukon gold potatoes - I used uncooked potatoes, but boiled potatoes also go well and in fact, it will take less time to cook.
The only problem with boiled potatoes is the lack of texture and consistency after the boil and may not end up in crispy potatoes.
Fenugreek Leaves: Few - this dried herb adds a distinctive flavour that makes this recipe unique.
Spices: To taste - salt, pepper, turmeric (optional gives a yellowish colour) and mixed whole spices powder (garam masala).
How to make Roasted Potato Dried Fenugreek?
Watch the video to learn how to cook roasted potato dried fenugreek!
Step-1 Prepare potatoes
Start with peeling Yukon gold potatoes and cut them into small thin slices. Peeling potatoes is optional.
Soak sliced potatoes in cold water for about 15- 20 minutes.
Step-2 Prepare the pan
The pan/skillet must be of a heavy base, preferably a non-stick pan.
To a medium-hot pan, add 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Add cumin seeds. When cumin turned brown, add mustard seeds.
Step- 3 Add potatoes and spices
Once mustard seeds started sputtering, it's the perfect time to add potatoes.
Also, add salt, pepper, garam masala and optional turmeric powder to the potatoes and mix to coat evenly.
Step- 4 Continue to roast until tender
Bring the heat high, roast potatoes while tossing until fully cooked and golden brown.
Tossing is a crucial part of the recipe that makes potatoes crispy and crunchier from the outside.
It may take 8-10 minutes or longer.
Step-5 Sprinkle fenugreek leaves
The heart of the recipe is adding dried fenugreek leaves at the last stage when potatoes are fully tender.
Crush a handful of dried leaves with your hands and sprinkle to the potatoes. Cook it for 2 minutes.
There you have it a yummy potato dried fenugreek leaves recipe!
How to Serve?
Potato dried fenugreek leaves go well with anything like chicken, beef, seafood.
At my place, We serve it as a main dish with Indian flatbread (roti/chapati) and curd raita that tastes super delicious.
Leftovers Advice
Got leftovers? You can try these leftover pan-roasted potatoes as:
- A part of breakfast with sausage.
- Mash and use them as stuffing for pies, grilled sandwiches, parathas. You can add onions and grated mozzarella also.
- Make scrambled egg potatoes by just adding beaten eggs to these potatoes. Cook it for 2-3 minutes, and you are ready with one more new recipe.
Some tips and tricks
- Make sure you cut every potato slice of the same thickness. It should not be thick nor thinner.
- Avoid using boiled potatoes as they vary in consistency and texture and may not end up in a crispy potato recipe.
- Keep an eye and turn potatoes continuously to avoid sticking to the base.
- Wait to add fenugreek leaves. Add in the last when potatoes are fully tender otherwise, fenugreek leaves will burn and taste bitter.
- Serve warm as the potatoes will soften over time as they cool.
- If you have a cast-iron skillet, make use of it for this potato dry fenugreek. The result will be the best crispy potato recipe you will ever try.
