Methi Paratha is a flavorful Indian flatbread made with fresh fenugreek leaves and whole wheat flour, perfect for a hearty vegan breakfast. Its unique taste and aromatic spices make it a delightful start to the day.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves - 100 grams, chopped
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chopped methi leaves, cumin seeds, salt, turmeric powder, and red chili powder.

3. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each part into a ball.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 6-8 inches in diameter.
6. Heat a tava or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
