Methi Chapathi

Preparation time : 15 min Cooking time : 2 min per chapathi Makes : 8-10 Ingredients: Wheat flour / Atta - 2 cups Methi/Fenugreek leaves - 1 medium sized bunch or 2 small bunches Garam masala - ½ tsp Red chili powder - ½ tsp Salt - ½ tsp, or as per taste White sesame seeds - 2 tsp Water as needed Cooking Oil - 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp per chapathi Method: • Pick, wash and chop methi leaves finely • Mix wheat flour, salt, chili powder, garam masala powder in a large bowl • Add the methi leaves and mix in oil • Slowly add water and knead into a soft dough • Coat it with a little oil and keep aside for half an hour • Take the dough and pinch out lemon sized balls • Roll into thin chapathis and sprinkle methi seed on top. Roll again slightly so that the seeds stick to the rolled dough • Heat a skillet and cook on both sides drizzling a few drops of oil on each side. Remove when small brown spots start appearing • Repeat with the entire dough • Serve hot with one of the below lip smacking gravy as side dish Tips n Tricks: • Making very big chapathis out of this is difficult because of the addition of methi - so a lemon sized ball should be enough to make a 6” chapathi
