Notes

  • Firstly, adding curd to methi leaves reduces its bitterness.
  • Also, adding aloo makes paratha super soft. You can also add besan to the dough to make it extra soft.
  • Additionally, roast the paratha on a medium flame; otherwise, the roti will not cook from the inside.
  • Finally, the aloo methi paratha recipe tastes great for lunch boxes too.
