This dish can be a wonderful alternative to plain parathas and make a very nutritious option for breakfast. Fenugreek (methi) contains protein, fibre, vitamin C, niacin, potassium, iron and alkaloids which have medicinal properties. It can help reduce cholesterol and high blood pressure and can also lower the risk of heart disease due to the presence of the compound galactomannan in it.
Ingredients
For the dough
1/2 cup bajra flour
1/2 cup maize flour
1 cup fenugreek leaves, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp low fat curd
salt to taste
To be mixed into a filling
1/2 cup crumbled low-fat paneer
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1/8 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp dried fenugreek leaves
3 tbsp chopped coriander
1 tomato, finely chopped
1 tsp oil for cooking
salt to taste
Directions
In a blender, lightly crush the methi leaves and garlic with a little salt.
Add to the flour and knead into a soft dough using curds and hot water.Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll out each portion into a circle of approx. 100 mm to 125 mm (4" to 5") diameter. If you find in difficult to roll the dough, place each portion between two sheets of plastic and then roll out.
Place a portion of the filling mixture on one-half of each rolled circle and fold it over to make a semi-circle
Lift the parathas carefully and place it on a non-stick pan. Using little oil, cook on both sides till they are golden brown. These have to be cooked on very low flame as the rotis are thicker and will take a while to cook.
