MEASUREMENT
1 cup = 250ml, 1 tablespoon = 15ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- ½ cup Finely Chopped Methi Leaves
- ½ cup Boiled Mashed Potato
- 3 tablespoon Thick Curd
- ½ teaspoon Red Chilli Flakes
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- Salt as needed
- 2 teaspoon Oil + extra for cooking paratha
- Water as needed
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl add 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour, ½ cup Boiled Mashed Potato, ½ cup Finely Chopped Methi Leaves, ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder, ½ teaspoon Red Chilli Flakes, Salt as needed.
- Add 3 tablespoon Thick Curd and mix everything together.
- Drizzle Water as needed little by little and begin to knead the dough.
- When the dough comes together, add 2 teaspoon Oil and continue to knead the dough.
- The dough should be soft and pliable. Cover and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal sized balls. Roll each portion into a ball, dust lightly with flour
- Roll into a circle of even thickness, dusting flour in between as needed. Avoid rolling the paratha too thick, as it may leave the center uncooked. It should be slightly thin, with even thickness for soft yet crispy parathas.
- Meanwhile heat a tawa on medium flame. Place the rolled paratha and cook each side for 1-2 mins, until golden spots appear. Drizzle oil all around and press with spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Remove from heat and serve hot with yogurt/plain curd, raita, pickle or even chutney of your choice.

Notes
- As boiled mashed potatoes as well as methi leaves release moisture, add water little by little while kneading the dough. It should be soft, but not sticky to make it easier for rolling the parathas.
- For best results, roll out the paratha slightly thicker than a roti but thinner than regular paratha. That way, the parathas stay soft but also cook evenly throughout.
