Notes
- firstly, make sure to add curd, else the bitterness of methi will be intense.
- also, cooking the roti with ghee helps to make roti flavourful.
- additionally, bajra flour doesn’t have gluten in it, so it will be difficult to roll. adding wheat flour helps in binding.
- finally, methi na dhebra recipe tastes great when flavours of bitterness, spiciness, sourness and sweetness are balanced.
