Bunch of fenugreek leaves

Wheat flour

Chilli powder

Garam masala powder

Turmeric

Sugar

Salt to taste

Procedure:

Clean and chop handful of fenugreek leaves.

In a deep vessel pour wheat flour, one spoon chilli powder, and pinch of turmeric, half spoon garam masala powder, sugar and salt to taste. Stir them all so that all powders get mixed well with wheat flour.

Add chopped fenugreek/methi leaves and mix them well. Pour hot water to the flour and knead the dough. Do not over flow the water; it should be perfect to form dough. Let the consistency and the softness be similar to the chapatti/roti batter.

Add water or flour to make corrections in the dough.

Now form small balls and dip them over the wheat flour both sides. Roll them to an round shape to form parathas.

Now place the paratha in the hot pan/tawa in a low flame. Add ghee and keep on flipping up and down to avoid burning. This also helps the quicker cooking on both side of paratha.
