Methi Paratha

When it comes to the ethnic Indian cuisine the most common ingredient would be fenugreek leaves.
Fenugreek leaves are very bitter in taste but when combined with other spices it gives out a nice aroma. Fenugreek is the most widely used ingredient in Indian cuisine.
I use a lot of fenugreek leaves in my kitchen. Missi roti has kasoori methi( dried fenugreek leaves) and methi thepla in my blog has fresh fenugreek leaves.
