Methi Roti/Methi chapathi

Methi Chapathi: It is a north Indian recipe. It is easy and simple to make. I prepare this methi roti on week end days. Methi is already a healthy leafy vegetable. I have posted a methi side dish in this blog. If you want, you can check it out here.

In this methi chapathi, I have sauted the methi leaves in oil first and then mixed with wheat flour and have made the chappathi. But some people also add the leaves raw.

As I sauted the leaves before adding to the wheat flour, it released nice aroma while making the chapathi .It came out very well and tasty. It is an easy way of adding leafy vegetables into our diet.

We can have this methi chapathi with curd and pickle. But since it is week end, I had enough time so I paired it with aloo matar sabzi. It’s a heavy and healthy breakfast.
