Methi Paratha
(1 Pc)
"Methi Paratha is a flavorful and wholesome Indian flatbread made by mixing fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves into whole wheat flour along with spices. Popular in many parts of North India, especially during the winter months when fresh fenugreek is abundant, it’s known for its earthy aroma, slight bitterness, and health benefits.
The dough is typically seasoned with turmeric, red chili powder, ajwain (carom seeds), cumin, salt, and sometimes a little yogurt or garlic for added depth. The parathas are rolled out and cooked on a hot griddle (tava) with ghee or oil until lightly browned and crisp on the outside.
Methi Paratha is not stuffed but rather has the fenugreek leaves blended into the dough, making it easy to prepare and ideal for travel or lunchboxes. Served with curd, pickles, or a dollop of butter, it’s a nutritious, hearty flatbread that’s as satisfying as it is healthy."
