Methi Parantha is a traditional Indian food prepared from Wheat Flour, Methi leaves and Gram Flour. It is a very healthy and easy to prepare breakfast recipe. The dough of the three ingredients (Wheat Flour, Methi leaves and Gram Flour) is prepared using water. Make the dough and leave it for 20 minutes. This is done so that the paranthas can be soft. If you like curd you can use it instead of water. Also curd helps in reducing the bitterness of the methi leaves. Methi Parantha is a healthy alternative to other types of paranthas since it is more nutritious. It can be served with plain or masala curd and pickle along with hot tea.

Instructions:

  • Take the methi leaves and pluck the leaves out of the stem. Put all the leaves in a big bowl and pour water into it. Leave it for some time so that the soil settles down.

Notes:

  1. Turmeric Powder is optional. It is used to bring a yellowish colour and taste to the paranthas.
  2. The quantity of methi leaves can be increased or decreased as per you taste and requirement.
  3. To make layered triangle shaped parantha, make a small roll, grease the inner part, and close the greased part by rolling into semicircle. Again apply ghee and then close it to make a cone. Now roll it to make triangle shaped paranthas.
  4. There are some ingredients which are optional. The taste of the paranthas will be awesome even if you don’t use them in your recipe. However it gives a different flavor.
  5. You can prepare the paranthas of your shape and size. Here I have prepared round shaped paranthas. To make triangle shaped paranthas, follow step 3 as given above.
