Methi (Fenugreek leaves) Paratha

January 24, 2010

From long time my husband was telling that I have not done something new with my chappati section. So was thinking what to do??

He does not eat green leafy vegetable much and I always search some few ideas to feed him leafy vegetables. Today I mixed up his desire and my need altogether in methi (Fenugreek leaves) Paratha.

Normally he eats three roti or chappati everyday but today he had four. I was very happy that my plan was successful.

Thought of sharing this recipe with all of you. Try this and tell me how it is??
