About Methi Paratha

Methi Paratha is a beloved Indian flatbread that brings together the earthy goodness of whole wheat flour and the aromatic freshness of fenugreek leaves. Infused with subtle spices like turmeric and a hint of salt, each paratha is pan-cooked to golden perfection, offering a hearty and flavorful addition to any lunch table.
This wholesome dish is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, thanks to the health benefits of fenugreek. Methi Paratha pairs wonderfully with yogurt, pickles, or your favorite chutney, making it a satisfying meal that’s as nourishing as it is comforting.

  • shallow fry on both sides with some oil.

Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

  • For softer parathas, add a few tablespoons of plain yogurt or a splash of milk to the dough while kneading; this also imparts a subtle tang that complements the fenugreek flavor.
  • If fresh fenugreek leaves are unavailable, substitute with dried kasuri methi—crush it lightly between your palms before mixing into the dough, but use half the quantity as it is more concentrated in flavor.
  • To enhance the spice profile, try adding a pinch of ajwain (carom seeds) or crushed fennel seeds to the dough; both aid digestion and introduce a unique aroma.
  • Leftover parathas can be wrapped in a clean kitchen towel and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 8 hours, or refrigerated for up to two days—reheat on a skillet for best texture.
