    Methi paratha recipe is one of the healthy ways to include methi or fenugreek leaves in our regular diet.I find fresh methi leaves in the vegetable market easily but sometimes it is out of stock so am planning to start my home garden atleast for growing methi.
    I love parathas very much so it was such a treat for me as methi paratha is packed with flavours with the addition of all the spice powders that I added.

    Whenever I find fresh methi leaves, I buy them as we all love methi thepla so this time after packing mittus lunchbox,I reserved a handful of methi leaves to try this methi paratha.Methi paratha needs no sidedish at all for me, but if you prefer you can have it with curd and pickle.I had mine with curd and tangy tamarind sauce.
