Recipe Text
| Ingredients: - ·Fenugreek Leaves –
35gms
- ·Whole Wheat Flour – 1
Cup (100ml cup)
- ·Salt to taste
- ·Carom Seeds – 1/4tsp
- ·Turmeric Powder –
1/8tsp
- ·Roasted cumin-chilli
powder – 1/2tsp
- ·Water – 1 cup (50ml
cup) Approx.
- ·Oil for frying
parathas
Preparations: Pluck
fenugreek leaves from the stems and wash them. Drain all the water from
the
fenugreek leaves and chop them. Take the chopped fenugreek leaves in a
microwave safe bowl and add just few drops of water. Microwave the
fenugreek
leaves on high power for 2 minutes. Cool the cooked fenugreek leaves.
Take
wheat flour in a deep plate and add the cooled fenugreek leaves,
turmeric
powder, roasted cumin-chilli powder, salt and carom seeds. Mix well all
ingredients and make soft dough by adding water. Keep this dough aside
for at
least 30 minutes. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and make rounds. Method: Heat
a griddle on low flame. As the griddle gets heated start rolling
parathas. Take
a round and make it flat by pressing. Coat this dough with flour and
start
rolling. When the dough is of Puri size, coat again with flour and roll
as big
as you can make. The paratha should be slightly thicker than a Compact
Disc.
Like this roll all the parathas and keep them in a plate. Increase the
flame on
which you are heating the griddle. When the griddle is hot add one
rolled
paratha and fry by slightly pressing it with a flat spatula. When you
see
bubbles on the paratha turn it and fry again. Lower the flame, turn it
again
and add oil. Smear the oil all over the paratha with the spatula. Turn
the
other side and add oil on the other side too. Spread the oil all over
the
paratha with a spatula and fry the paratha. Similarly fry all parathas
and
serve hot with any gravy vegetable or paneer dishes.
Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

How are you doing? I tried your methi paratas recipe yesterday.
Though it tasted good, the paratas turned out hard, inspite of letting the dough sit for an hour and adding around 50% water.
Request you to please suggest a remedy.
Thanks!

If I guess rightly your dough needs to be a
bit soft. The water proportion to flour is a bit delicate combination.
The proportion may change slightly from one brand to another brand
(depending upon the gluton content) also !!!

Gayathri Aunty,
This is Sunil from McLean, VA. It was
really awesome to see your videos and food preparation articles. I was
really satisfied to see all Vegetarian cooking, and its way of
preparation. Actually I am Telugu Brahmin from Hyderabad. Usually used
to prepare the food with some way and make tasty with proper salt and
spices at the end, due to office timings and work schedules. After
looking into your site and videos, interested to prepare the systematic
and healthy food.
Thank you Gayathri Aunty.
