Cheese, Spinach and Fenugreek Leaves(Methi) Parathas image

This is a wonderful filling paratha(bread) to enjoy with tomato-cucumber-onion raita(yoghurt) or plain low-fat yoghurt and a healthy soup and salad bowl on the side. Very nutritious and tasty. I found this recipe in the Thursday magazine where it was posted by Nitya Kalyani. Enjoy!

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 parathas

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups wheat flour
1/2 cup grated cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
1/2 cup fresh fenugreek leaves, washed and chopped (methi)
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, washed and chopped
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1/2 inch piece fresh ginger
3 green chilies
2 garlic cloves
salt
oil, as required

Steps:

  • In a pot, boil together the spinach, mint and fenugreek leaves alongwith salt to taste.
  • Allow it to cool completely once boiled.
  • Then grind it with cumin, ginger, green chillies and garlic to obtain a smooth paste.
  • In a clean bowl, mix together this ground paste, cheese, wheat flour and water and oil as is required to make a dough just as you make the chappati dough.
  • Keep the dough aside for 20 minutes.
  • Then divide it into 8 equal portions.
  • Roll out each portion till it is 6 inches in diameter.
  • Roast each paratha on a hot flat bottom griddle(tava) till it is golden brown on either side. Use ghee sparingly to let it cook and get that awesome paratha with ghee flavour.
  • Serve hot, right off the griddle, alongwith raita for a delectable delightful treat.
  • Don't forget to thank the Kitchen Goddess who cooks for you while you sit back seeing television or surfing the net.
  • Enjoy!
