Methi Paratha
Methi leaves are rich in calcium, phosphorus and iron and its mineral and vitamin contents are also high and this is easily assimilated by our body. I like methi leaves in any form..especially I loveee Methi paratha. My cousin used to make this recipe and now I am making it whenever I buy methi leaves 🙂 I like this to have with raitha or pickle.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
No of Servings: 2
Spice level: 3 out of 5
Ingredients:
-
Wheat flour-2 cups

Methi Leaves-1 bunch(chopped)

Onions-1 cup(finely chopped)

Green chillies-2(finely chopped)
-
Coriander powder-1 tsp
-
Red chilli powder-1/2 tsp(according to spice level)

Salt-to taste

Oil-2 tsp
Method of Preparation:
-
Take 2 cups of flour in a round bottom vessel and add a little salt and 3/4 cup of water or more and knead it to make a smooth dough just like that for chapathi.
-
Make small balls and keep it aside.
-
Now heat oil in a pan and fry the chopped onions till they become translucent.
-
Then fry the greeen chillies followed by the ginger garlic paste.
-
Then add the methi leaves followed by red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt.

Fry them till the methi leaves become soft and let it cool for sometime.
-
Now spread the dough to your palm size and keep 1 1/2 tsp of the stuffing in the center and fold it from all the sides.
-
Now slowly spread the methi stuffed ball, like chappathi.
-
Roll it in such a way that the stuffing should not come out but try to make it little transparent.
-
Take a flat pan and fry the paratha by spreading little oil on both the sides till it becomes golden brown.
-
Repeat the procedure for the remaining dough.
-
Serve hot with Pickle or raitha.

Arthi,
Nice methi paratha. I used make them whenever i get fresh leaves.
Wow, those look delicious, simply superb. I like the addition of methi masala as a ball stuffed in the roti, instead of mixed in the dough itself. I will surely try out this way.
Thank you Priya.Yeah I feel we can enjoy the methi taste more when we make like this rather mixing with the dough!!
