Methi Paratha

 Talk less, eat moderate, relax more ;) So straight onto the recipe this time.
 
 Recipe:

       For Chapathi Dough:

                Wheat flour  - Start with 1 Cup or go for more if you need more parathas
                 Salt - As required
                 Refined Oil - 1 tbsp or even lesser

Stuffing:

                 Buy the bunch of Methi they usually sell in the market. Should I say it is some 10 cups roughly of fresh pruned methi leaves when you work hard to . Not sure. But you can assume one bunch usually sold by your vegwala ;)
 
                 Turmeric powder - 1 to 2 Spoonsful
                 Garlic Pod - 5 to 6 Peeled and finely chopped/crushed
                 One big onion finely Chopped 
                  Brown Sugar - 0.5 Cup or more

Way to go:               

  • Wash the Methi leaves throughly  and Finely chop it with the chopper blade in a food processor.
  • Heat oil in a kadai and when Oil is hot, add the grated garlic and roast them well.
  • Now add the onion chopped and saute it well till traslucent and pink.
  • Add the finely chopped methi, turmeric powder. Give a toss so it mixes with garlic and onion
  • Cook for two to three minutes. Once methi is semi cooked, add in the salt to taste. 
  • At this stage also add the sugar enough to reduce the bitterness as per your taste and choice. 
  • Cook in low flame for few more miutes till all sugar and flavors mix well with methi
  • Once done, remove them from flame, and let them cool.
  • Take a bowl of wheat flour and add the cooked methi stuffing and mix well. Mostly you will not need to add water or just sprinkle water enough to make a soft dough
  • Roll them into rotis, toast on both sides on a pan sprinkling ghee.
  • Serve it with chilled curd.
  • Enjoy !!!
