Methi Paratha | Methi Thepla

Methi Paratha | Methi Thepla

This is one of the most common and popular dish in North India. Its not only healthy but also easy to make. This is good food for toddlers and kids. My kid loves this paratha. So I keep them in his tiffin box. In this way kids will get the goodness of fenugreek leaves to your kid. Methi paratha goes best with raita, plain curd, tomato sauce or any curry. You can serve them with tea/ coffee in breakfast or tea time as snacks. It’s also called as Thepla in Gujrat. Unlike aloo paratha they are very light and healthy.

Methi or fenugreek is light bitter in taste. But I love that bitterness blended with other spices while making any preparation. This is one of the excellent food for diabetic patient. All bitter vegetables are like a boon to diabetic patients. They keep balance and reduces blood sugar level. But be careful in cleaning the leaves thoroughly before using any leafy veggies.
