Methi roti is a fragrant Indian flatbread that uses leaves of the fenugreek plant, giving the dough a slightly bitter yet aromatic taste. The Methi roti recipe chosen here suits quite a palate that enjoys heavy and healthy food because it combines whole wheat flour with fresh, health-giving greens of the fenugreek plant. This roti typically has curries, dals, and yoghurt with it. Fresh methi leaves are finely chopped and added to dough consisting of whole wheat flour, water, salt, and a pinch of carom seeds (ajwain) for extra flavour. Some people add turmeric or chilli powder to taste. The dough is kneaded to a soft consistency so that the fenugreek leaves are well-coated and there is no accumulation in one place. Once the dough is prepared, small portions are rolled into a thin circle and then roasted in the hot tawa or skillet. Traditionally, roti is cooked in little ghee or oil that brings richness and makes it crispy, golden outside, and soft inside. The methi roti recipe is full of flavours but also very nutritious. The methi leaves are high in iron, fibre, and antioxidants, making the roti a healthy meal.
