Steps

30 minutes

1

First, separate the fenugreek leaves from the stems, wash them thoroughly, and chop them finely. In a large mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes and add the chopped fenugreek leaves and ginger-garlic-green chili paste.
2

Add the carom seeds by crushing them lightly with your hands, then add all the spices and mix well.
3

Add the flour and 2 teaspoons of oil for mixing. Combine everything and knead into a dough. Add water only if needed.
4

Divide the dough into small balls. Heat a skillet (tawa) on the stove. Roll each ball into a flat circle like a tortilla. Cook the paratha on the hot skillet, applying oil on both sides, until golden brown.
5

Serve the hot Aloo Methi Parathas with tea, yogurt, chutney, or pickle. They taste delicious and are great for kids' lunchboxes too.

Note: You can adjust the spices to your taste. If the dough feels too sticky while kneading, add a little dry flour to adjust the consistency.
