Methi Roti Recipe

Back after a 2 day visit to vellore for a wedding,had a nice time catching up with relatives and had great food at the wedding.Coming back to the recipe Methi Roti is a healthy way to sneak in greens in your kids lunch box ,so I buy Methi whenever I see fresh Methi in the shop.It is best suited for lunch box as it stays soft for long.Just methi rotis with a cup of curd makes for a filling lunch for kids.This meal I prepared for my daughter who wanted me to post only as full course meal rather than one dish .She enjoyed her lunch of methi roti with channa masala and curd. You can chop the methi leaves if the leaves are big.Next post will be the chana masala which is simple and easy.

Methi Roti Recipe- Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 1 Cup
Methi Leaves - 1 cup (cleaned and Chopped)
Red Chilly Powder - 1tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala Powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Water as required
Oil - 1tsp

Method:

1. Heat oil in a kadai and saute the cleaned and chopped methi along with chilly,turmeric and garam masala powder and salt till it shrinks in quantity.Let it cool.
2. Take wheat flour in a mixing bowl,add the methi mixture and required water to make a soft pilable and non sticky dough.
3. Make lemon sized balls of the dough and roll each ball into thin circles using the rolling pin.Use flour for dusting .Roll the rotis as thin as possible.
4. Heat a tawa on medium heat and place the roti on the tawa and drizzle a little oil (optional),when you see bubbles turn it to the other side and cook till brown spots appear on both the sides.
Now your Methi roti is ready to serve.We had ours with chana masala.You can have it with curd and some pickle for a wholesome meal.

My Notes:

• This roti does not require any resting time.You can go head with rolling the roti as soon as the dough is ready.
• Adding garam masala is optional,but it lends a nice aroma to the roti.
