The Aloe Vera sabji always reminds me of my maternal grandmother (Nani). She introduced me to this tempting dish.
Aloe Vera ki sabji
Ingredients
Aloe Vera
Fenugreek
Oil
Cumin seeds
Asafoetida powder
Salt
Red chilli powder
Coriander powder
Turmeric powder
Dry mango powder
Method
First, clean the aloe vera, cut it into pieces, and boil until softened. Separately, boil the fenugreek leaves. Heat some oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and a pinch of asafoetida, and let them splutter. Now add all the spices of your choice and cook them well until aromatic. Finally, add the boiled aloe vera and fenugreek, mix everything together, and cook for a few minutes so the flavours blend nicely. Your aloe vera–fenugreek dish is ready to serve.
