Methi Paratha | Step By Step + Video

Hello everyone, welcome to my video. Today's recipe is Methi Paratha, this is a popular Indian breakfast recipe, and quite filling too. In this recipe I've given few tips, if you follow the tips the parathas will never be bitter and you can enjoy yummy parathas. And methi is very good for health, specially for the diabetic patients. I usually don't use maida for making parathas, but if you want you can use only maida or maida and atta both for this paratha. Methi paratha usually serve with masala curd and pickle. This parathas don't need any sides, but if you want can have with your choice of curries.

I love fresh methi or fenugreek leaves for the slight bitterness they add to any dish. Each time I go to Little India, I scout around for a bunch. They are not very easy to find so when I do get them, I wrack my brain on what to make with it. Chopped Methi leaves and some other spices are mixed with Maida, make a dough and roll them into Parathas and cook on Hot Tawa.
