Methi Matar paratha is the paratha where the ground peas and chopped Methi Leaves are mixed with the dough and made as a roti. Use fresh methi leaves and add a pinch of Kasuri Methi for aroma.  This is a healthier option since it has green leafy vegetable and also peas in it.

INGREDIENTS 

Matar 1 cup

Dhania – 2 Sprigs

Ginger- one inch

Green Chillies- 3to4

Methi Leaves -1 cup (Chopped finely)

Oil- 3 tbsp

Wheat Flour -2 cups

Salt- to taste

• Grind peas, coriander, Ginger,  Green Chillies till they blend together.
• Soak the methi leaves in turmeric water for 5 minutes. Chop them.
• Add chopped Methi Leaves, ground peas paste, Salt,Oil and mix together. Knead well to make a dough.
• Add water slowly and in less quantity since methi leaves already have a lot of moisture.

• Now the dough is ready to make the rotis/Paratha.

• Take a small ball of the dough and roll out.

• Cook the parathas on both sides on a hot tawa.  Drizzle ghee on the parathas and remove once you see the brown spots on them.

• Serve it with any gravy.
