Methi Paratha

Methi Paratha

Punjab

Methi Paratha is a Punjabi winter flatbread where fresh fenugreek leaves are kneaded directly into the whole-wheat dough itself — no separate filling, no stuffing step. The dough turns a beautiful speckled green, and when cooked, the bitter methi mellows into something faintly herbal and deeply aromatic, enhanced by ajwain and red chilli. It is simpler to make than stuffed parathas and arguably more flavourful, available only when fresh methi is in season.
