I make methi paratha more often than any other paratha that is because my hubby is not found of aloo paratha; I love it still I don’t make that much. Fenugreek leaves have lots of medicinal properties. They are enriched with minerals like potassium, calcium, and Iron. One hundred grams of fenugreek leaves comprise only 49 calories. The leaves have good dietary fiber and are also enriched with Vitamin C. The Vitamin K from fenugreek greens is comparable to spinach. It has cooling, mildly laxative effect, increases the digestion ability. It helps in milk secretion in lactating mothers. Fenugreek leaves lowers blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Delicious and Healthy methi partha made with touch of spices.

- 1 bunch Fresh Fenugreek leaves/Methi leaves
- 2 cupWhole wheat flour/Atta
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil

- Flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds or until you see brown spots on both sides.
