Khasta Methi Paratha Recipe | Winter Special Recipe
Jyoti Behrani
Savor the warmth of winter with this delightful Methi Paratha recipe! Made with whole wheat flour, fresh fenugreek leaves, and aromatic spices, these khasta (flaky) parathas are a perfect blend of taste and health.
(Optional): Sprinkle some salt on the methi leaves, and mix gently. Let it rest for about 10 minutes, after 10 minutes, gently squeeze any extra moisture from the leaves, and use it in the recipe. This process helps remove any bitterness from the methi leaves.
In a pan, heat ghee or oil and add cumin seeds, followed by chopped fenugreek leaves. Sauté until the fenugreek softens. Remove methi on a plate and allow it to cool down.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, besan, fenugreek leaves, onion (optional), ajwain (carom seeds), crushed ginger and green chili paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala (optional), yogurt or fresh cream, and salt to taste. Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a semi-soft and smooth dough. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and shape them into balls.
Take a dough ball, dip it into dry whole wheat flour, and roll it into a small circle using a rolling pin.
Apply a thin layer of ghee or oil on the rolled circle. Fold the circle into half to form a semi-circle. Apply ghee or oil again and fold it once more to form a triangle.
Roll the triangle gently into a slightly thicker paratha.
Heat a griddle or tawa on medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot griddle. Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip the paratha.
Apply ghee or oil on the cooked side, then flip again and apply ghee or oil on the other side.
Continue cooking the paratha, pressing the edges with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the griddle and repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve hot Khasta Methi Parathas with yogurt, pickle, Shrikhand, or any side of your choice.
Enjoy your delicious and flaky Khasta Methi Parathas!
