Aloo Pudina (Quick & Easy)

Aloo Pudina Recipe – an easy, healthy and delicious side dish made with boiled potatoes, spices and mint leaves. This is my mother’s recipe and mint goes well with potato and tastes great with parathas, phulkas or naan.

This recipe could be made tangy, spicy or mild as per your taste preference. Mild tempering are given of spices like cumin, mustard seed, curry leaves, green chilies along with hing. I also use the left over veggies as stuffing in my sandwich or parathas with cheese or veggies.

Potatoes and okra are 2 veggies which are loved and relished in our house. Although I love all veggies and keep experimenting to incorporate in daily dishes by adding them in parathas, puris, rice etc. Men are over grown babies and babies are babies so the women of the house has to think differently to fulfill their needs and also their daily intake 😉 although some men like to eat healthy some are fussy and my house is no exception.

I have added mint leaves towards the start and also towards the end. As mint leaves when cooked loose their fragrance and taste. So if possible add them always towards the end for the best mint flavor.
