Methi/ Fenugreek Mixed Vegetable Paratha Recipe – Learn to prepare Paratha an Indian flatbread – Pavithra from Dice n Cook

Methi or fenugreek mixed vegetable paratha recipe is the simplest and delicious paratha. Parathas are unleavened Indian flat bread, can be prepared with any local masala and vegetables of choice. I love preparing parathas as they are easy to prepare and highly nutritious. These paratha are thicker than normal chapati and can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

These parathas can be prepared either by stuffing or by simply mixing with flours. Whenever I am lazy to prepare subzi for chapatti or have to make my kids eat the veggies they are not interested, this is how I prepare and feed my family.

I love the aroma of methi leaves and often end up making lots of dishes with it. Methi leaves are aromatic and iron rich, it pairs well with vitamin C rich cabbage and starchy sweet corn. By combining all these, you can boost flavour and nutrient content of paratha. It is a great accompaniment to curd, butter and lemon pickle. These form a very good tiffin box snack too.

Notes

Cornmeal flour can be skipped and replaced with whole wheat flour.

The same masala can be used for stuffing and paratha can be prepared.

Adjust the quantity of whole wheat flour to the masala, the moisture in the masala is enough to prepare the dough. If you find the dough to be dry, little water can be added.
