Methi Paratha - Fenugreek Wraps

Methi or fenugreek is widely used in India. It is a mildly bitter but aromatic leaf and is available either fresh or frozen in Indian grocery stores. For this recipe I usually use the frozen kind because it is easier but you can use the fresh ones too.




Ingredients

Whole wheat flour – 2.5 Cups
Methi Leaves – Fenugreek Leaves– 1 Cup thawed (around 130 grams)
Plain Yogurt – 1 Cup
Cumin Seeds – 2 Tbsp
Turmeric Powder – 1 Tsp
Salt – To taste
Curry Powder – 1 Tsp
Chili Powder – ½ Tsp
Olive oil – 1 Tsp


Directions



  • Mix the yogurt, turmeric powder, chili powder, curry powder and salt in a bowl.
  • Mix in the methi leaves and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the yogurt to remove the bitterness from the methi.
  • Now add the whole wheat flour and make a dough that is pliable.
  • Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
  • Make small ping pong sized balls and roll them out into 6 inch diameter parathas.
  • Spray some cooking spray on a hot griddle and cook one side. Flip over and cook the other side.
  • Serve hot with yogurt or raita.
