A healthy paratha recipe, with methi leaves and whole wheat flour.
Ingredients
  • Wheat flour 2 cups -makes around 5 parathas (more or less depend on size of cup and parathas too)
  • Fresh fenugreek leaves  1 cup ( picked leaves)
  • Coriander leaves  a handful
  • Curd or yogurt approximately 5 tsp (flexible as per your taste)
  • Green chilies 2-3
  • Ginger garlic paste 1tsp
  • Turmeric powder ¼ tsp
  • Sugar 1 tsp (or less)
  • Oil 1 tbsp(3-4 tsp....3 tsp for mixing in dough and rest for applying on parathas while cooking)
  • Salt as per taste
Method
  1. Take 2 cups of wheat flour,add salt,turmeric powder and sugar
  2. Coarsely grind (without adding water) methi leaves (pick them,rinse thoroughly with water, place these in colander to drain out excess water) along with coriander leaves,green chillies.
  3. You can use ginger garlic paste or you can add 5 cloves of garlic and about an inch size piece of ginger to methi mixture while grinding
  4. Remember you need a coarse mixture and not a Chutney.
  5. Add this mixture to the flour
  6. Beat the curd properly,add little water if needed to prepare sort of buttermilk (lassi or chaach)
  7. Add this buttermilk little by little and knead the flour till it binds properly (as done for phulkas or rotis)
  8. Finally add 1 tbsp of oil and smooth-en it
  9. Let it rest (covered) for about an hour (Optional)
  10. Later divide the dough into 5-6 small size rounds.
  11. Roll each one as regular roti (not too thick as parathas but not too thin like phulkas)
  12. Place it on hot griddle and roast it on both sides,drizzling a tad of oil while flipping ,till small brown spots appear on surface
  13. Serve them with any Subzi,papad or curd
