👩‍🍳 How to make Methi Paratha

Knead methi leaves directly into the flour along with all spices and oil. Add water gradually — the methi releases moisture so use less water than usual. Knead into smooth dough, rest 15 minutes.
Roll into parathas without stuffing.
Cook on hot tawa with ghee until green-specked golden parathas are ready.
