Methi paratha
Methi Paratha is a healthy and flavourful whole wheat flatbread made with fresh fenugreek leaves (methi). These parathas are packed with nutrition and have a distinctive taste that combines the mild bitterness of fenugreek with aromatic spices. Methi Paraths is considered a superfood with numerous health benefits. These healthy flatbreads are also known as “methi ke parathe” or “methi roti”.
Crispy and soft, these parathas have a lovely fragrant aroma and a light bitterness of the fenugreek leaves. They are a quick and healthy breakfast or side that can be eaten with any curry or sabzi.
This is unique paratha recipe as the leaves are not literally stuffed to the wheat balls and are mixed to the dough. Later it is rolled flat like chapati and roasted similar to any other paratha.
Be careful while adding the water. Fresh fenugreek leaves also have some amount of moisture. So add water cautiously while binding the dough else it would turn sticky, and messy.
You can prepare the dough one day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
I love them with achar (pickle), however you can also serve them with raita and of course a cup of chai is must!
