Protein-rich fenugreek leaves are added to the Methi paratha abundantly to increase the nutrition value of the dish. This unique, lushly green flavour given to the parathas makes them more delicious and iron-rich. These parathas are made with whole wheat flour, fenugreek leaves, and spices. This healthy methi paratha is mostly eaten with chutney, pickle, or curd during the breakfast. But if it is served as a meal, people love to have it with dal, pickle, and raita or lassi.
