Menthi Paratha

Hi guys

Today I am coming with healthy menthi parotha. I think everybody knows that this menthi kura is good for health  and also good source of dietary fiber. Greens like menthi and spinach should be taken at least twice a week. I often make lots of dishes with this menthi kura. This menthi paratha is a quick breakfast, takes less time to prepare. You can take with any side dish or needs no side dish  also as it tastes little spicy.

OK. Let me explain how to make paratha.

Ingredients  (Serving size-5 parothas)

• Wheat flour                            1 1/2 cups
• Besan flour                             1/2 cup
• Menthi leaves                            1 cup
• Green chillies                          4 (finely chopped)
• Turmeric powder
• Cumin seeds                            pinch
• Coriander powder                   1/4 tbsp
• Ginger & garlic paste             1 tbsp
• Salt 
• Oil or ghee                             1 tbsp

How I did Parotha                 

1. Wash menthi leaves. Drain them completely and chop roughly.
2. Take a bowl add wheat flour, besan, green chilles cumin seeds, turmeric powder coriander powder garlic&ginger paste, required salt , methi leaves and 1 tbsp oil or ghee.
3. Mix well with your hand.
4. Add little water and knead the dough gently into soft dough.
5. Cover it and keep it aside for 30 minutes.
6. Divide the dough into small balls.
7. Roll each dough ball with rolling pin into a circle.
8. Heat a griddle.
9. Fry the paratha well, flip it and drizzle little oil till browned.
10. Flip it and again apply oil.
11. See that it is well cooked both sides.

  Your menthi paratha is ready to serve with a cup of green tea. It goes well with besan, tomato curry or any subji you like.

My Notes:

1. Garlic and ginger paste enhances the flavor of the parathas.
2. Besan gives crispness to parathas.
3. Normally I used bansi whole wheat to prepare this wheat flour. It is good for heath and moreover a very nice taste. 

ENJOY!!!!!!!
