“Methi” is a Hindi word for “fenugreek and “Paratha” is a word for “flatbreads”. So methi paratha are simply flatbreads with fenugreek leaves in them. While methi mean both fenugreek leaves and seeds, here in this recipe it is the leaves. They are eaten with a chutney, pickle or curd for breakfast or a meal.
Parathas are traditionally eaten as a breakfast dish or a teatime snack. Serve methi parathas with chilled yogurt and a pickle of your choice. For this recipe, you will need to visit an Indian food store or an international market to get the ingredients.
