I have attempted methi parathas very few times and i don’t have a proper recipe, and very recently i got this recipe from my friend,who makes this very nicely. So after knowing the proper recipe, now i wanted to try this and blog this one. So without any delay i went to the market the next day and bought these fresh methi leaves and tried the paratha. Check out my methi thepla recipe too.
It came out very nice and i loved the texture of the dough while rolling it.

Methi paratha
 Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 25Mins |Serves: 3-4
   Methi leaves  1 small bunch
   Whole wheat flour  2 cups
   Salt  as needed
   Milk  1/2 cup
   Coriander powder  1/2 tsp
   Red chili powder  1 tsp
   Turmeric powder  1/4 tsp
   Garlic  (crushed)  2-3 cloves
   Cumin seeds  1/4 tsp
   Ajwain | Omam  2 pinches
   Oil  1 tblsp
   Water   as needed
   Garam masala  2 pinches
  Â
  Â
Method:
- Clean the leaves and cut them into finely.
- Wash them thoroughly
- Crush the garlic (a mortar and pestle can do this job)
- In a kadai, add 2 tsp of oil and put the cuminseeds and crushed garlic.
- Just saute them for a minute .
- Add the methi leaves and throw in the chilli powder,coriander powder ,turmeric powder ,salt and garam masala(if using).
- Saute for 3-5 mins.
- Now switch off the flame and add this mixture to the atta flour
- Mix this nicely.
- Add the ajwain seeds.
- Add the milk and start kneading it into a smooth dough.
- Add water also as the quantity of milk won’t be sufficient to knead the dough.
- Add a tsp of oil to the dough and cover it with a lid and let this it for half an hour.
 |
 |
- Make equal balls out of these dough and roll them into circles.
- Since i decided to make  parathas ,i rolled it into little thick circle.
- Heat a tawa and put the paratha in it.
 |
 |
- When it is done on both sides,add a tsp of oil and transfer it to a plate.
- Repeat this process for the rest of the balls.
- Serve hot with any pickle/yogurt.
Note:
- You can replace homemade sambar powder for chilli powder and coriander powder.
- Adding garlic to this will subdue the flavour of methi , but not much more.
- If you want the flavour of methi leaves in particular, just skip the procedure of adding garlic.
- Sauting methi leaves will reduce the bitterness of the leaves.
