Notes

  • I have used mustard oil because this Aloo Methi Sabji is a punjabi style dry sabji . 
  • I emphasize on using different types of oil for cooking as per the cuisine ,so that our body will be benefited from each kind of fatty acids . You can understand more about this in my article Balanced Diet .
