    Mix in ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for 1–2 minutes. Add turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder.

  4. Add potatoes:
    Add diced potatoes and stir well so they are coated with spices. Cover and cook on low-medium heat until partially tender.

  5. Add methi (fenugreek leaves):
    Add chopped methi leaves and salt. Mix well. Cook uncovered until potatoes are fully cooked and methi is wilted and dry.

  6. Finish:
    Sprinkle garam masala if desired. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
