Methi Chapathi-a quickie

This is one of the quickest flavorful chapathi. If you have unexpected guests and you are in a hurry this will help  you like a cake and will give a "hmm..." from your guests. All you need is a store bought Kasoori methi packet.



Ingredients

  • a cup of whole wheat flour(atta)
  • handful of dry methi leaves(Kasoori Methi)
  • 2 tbsp of oil
  • salt
  • 1 tsp of chilli powder
  • 1 tsp of turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp of cumin powder
Pre-cooking
  • None.
Method
  • Mix all the ingredients together and make a chapathi dough.
  • The blue highlighted ingredients are optional but they give added flavour and takes bitterness if any.
  • Make lime sized balls and roll out in the tava.
  • Take out the chapathi once done.



Serving suggestions
  • Drizzle the chapathi(once done) with a drop of ghee for additional flavour.
Tips
  • If you use too much methi leaves,it will turn bitter.

Sending this to EFM-Paratas and Curries at Sris.
