Fenugreek leaves are rich in antioxidants, iron and is a good source of dietary fiber. ย North Indians are known for so many different stuffed parathas especially for breakfast. ย Methi paratha is a flaky bread with fresh fenugreek leaves and spices.
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of Fenugreek leaves (Methi)
- 1 small onion
- inch of ginger
- 1 green chilli
- salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1.5 cups wheat flour
- Water to knead
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- oil to shallow fry
Directions:
Pick the methi leaves and wash them thoroughly so that all the sand is washed off. ย Take onion, ginger, green chilli and coarsely chop in a chopper. ย Roughly chop the meths leaves.
In a mixing bowl, add the wheat flour. Add all the spices, turmeric, salt, garam masala, red chilli powder and sift so that everything is mixed evenly. ย ย Also add the methi leaves, and chopped onion mixture to the flour.
Adding little water at a time, make the dough. ย Keep the covered dough in the refrigerator for approximately half hour.
Divide it in equal parts and make the balls. ย Dust the surface with dry flour so you can roll it without sticking to the bottom. ย What I do is I make a small tiny one to first do the taste test, so if it needs salt and heat that can be added at the time of rolling.
If it needs additional salt n chilli, you can roll into a small circle, using a butter knife put some butter and picnch of salt and red chilli powder and fold it to a desired shape. ย Roll it all the way and shallow fry it on the tava or a frying pan.
Put a dollop of butter and serve it with plain yogurt or pickle of your choice.
