Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough

  • Combine the chopped fenugreek leaves, whole wheat flour, yogurt, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Gradually add water, mixing with your hands until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Roll and Cook the Parathas

  • Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
  • Roll each ball into a 6-inch circle using a rolling pin.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or flat pan over medium heat.
  • Cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly puffed up. Brush with ghee or oil during cooking for added flavor and texture.

Serve

  • Serve the hot Fenugreek Parathas with fried eggplant (brinjal) and a dollop of plain yogurt, or enjoy them with your favorite curry or pickle.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Fenugreek Parathas

  • For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of oil for cooking.
  • If your fenugreek leaves are particularly dry, soak them in warm water for a few minutes before adding them to the dough.
  • Don't over-knead the dough, as this can make the parathas tough.
  • Adjust the amount of yogurt to achieve the desired dough consistency; a slightly sticky dough is ideal.
