Methi Paratha | Fenugreek Leaves Paratha


INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup Multigrain Flour, for dusting
1/2 cup Methi | Fenugreek Leaves, roughly chopped
1 tsp Dhania | Coriander Powder
2 tblsp Dahi | Curd, thick
1/2 " Adrak | Ginger, finely chopped
3 Green Chillies, finely chopped
1 tsp Jeera | Cumin, dry roasted
1/4 tsp Haldi | Turmeric Powder
1/4 tsp Salt | to taste
1 tsp Oil

METHOD
  • In a large mixing bowl add multi grain flour, chopped methi leaves, chopped chillies and other ingredients except Oil.
  • Mix well and make a stiff dough adding required water.
  • Add the Oil and knead the dough again for about 2 minutes. Cover and keep aside for half an hour. 
  • Divide the dough to 6 equal portions.
  • Roll out the paratha into 5" diameter roundels. Spread a very little of oil on the surface. Dust with multi grain flour. Fold the partha in such a manner that they resemble a small square. For this, Take the top and bottom portion of the rolled paratha and make them meet in the center. Similarly take the sides of the folded paratha and make them meet to the center. This will make a small square.
  • Roll the folded paratha to make a bigger square of  3".
  • Place the tava on the gas on high flame. Spread Oil | Ghee|Clarified Butter on the surface and when this gets hot, reduce the flame to medium (You may also use any vegetable oil).
  • Place the rolled Paratha on the hot tava..let one side cook for about 2 minutes. Flip to the other side. Gently drizzle very little Ghee|Clarified butter on its surface. Once both the sides have got brown spots, the Paratha is done. Continue similarly for the remaining parathas.
  • Serve hot with any Raita | Pickle | Homemade Butter | Curd.
The interesting shape of the parathas is very visually stimulating...also due to the layers formed by the folds...its really fun to eat this nutritious Methi Paratha.
