Kasoori Methi Paratha

Kasoori Methi Paratha just happened. I wished to make Methi Partha and then thought of making Kasoori Methi Paratha instead. It came out well and very tasty. I found it also easy to prepare. 

Kasoori methi, also known as dried fenugreek leaves, is a popular herb used in Indian cuisine. It has a strong, distinctive flavor. Kasoori methi is commonly used to add flavor and aroma to dishes such as curries, soups, and bread. It is often added towards the end of cooking to preserve its flavor. Kasoori methi can be used whole or crushed, and it goes well with ingredients like potatoes, peas, paneer, tofu ane many more. In addition to its culinary uses, kasoori methi is also believed to have several health benefits, including aiding digestion and reducing inflammation.

To make Kasoori Methi paratha, we can mix dried methi or kasoori methi in the wheat flour while kneading the dough. I added few other things like carom seeds, a little of red chili powder, salt and 1 tsp of ghee. We can tawa fry the parathas in refined oil or ghee (clarified butter). 

Kasoori Methi Paratha goes well with tea as well as raita. It is a quick, simple and healthy breakfast dish. Here is the complete recipe for kasoori methi paratha.
