Methi Aloo Paratha is ideal breakfast especially when you want to feed your reluctant family with methi or fenugreek leaves. Did I say serve for breakfast but then you can serve it for lunch or dinner? How about your Childs tiffin box or hubby’s lunch box?
I have been cooking after a long gap now. We were renovating our flat and were staying in our friend's place. So one of the first things I made after coming back home was Fenugreek leaves and Potatoes Stuffed Flatbreads. I have made gobhi paratha too but unfortunately, I have no pics to go with my handiwork.
We love to have parathas for breakfast but the family prefers aloo paratha most. When Sujata of Batter up with Sujata suggested we make a nutritious breakfast I wanted to feed my family the goodness of fresh fenugreek which is abundantly available in the markets now.
To make aloo methi paratha and to reduce the bitterness of the methi leaves just saute them in oil or ghee. The flavoursome spices and the potato does the rest of the trick. I have made the parathas after stuffing them but you can mix all the ingredients ad make them like theplas too.
Fresh Fenugreek Leaves
Methi Leaves: Fresh Fenugreek Leaves that are available in plenty in the current season.
Potatoes: Aloo, boiled and grated potatoes.
Whole Wheat Flour: The regular gehu ka atta after all this is an unleavened flatbread.
Spices: Use to flavour the paratha cumin seeds, green chillies, red chilli powder, cumin seed powder, coriander seed powder and amchur/amchoor or dry mango powder.
Oil: use oil or homemade ghee to fry the paratha.
Besan: Chickpea Flour is also used to make the filling (optional).
Fry the cumin seeds till golden then add the fenugreek leaves and stir fry till all the moisture evaporates.
Add the salt, grated potatoes, green chillies, red chilli powder and dry mango powder. Mix well and let it cool.
Mix the wheat flour with oil and salt and knead to a soft smooth dough. Cover and let it rest.
Make balls of the filling and the dough each. Roll out a small circle, place the filling in the centre. Cover the filling with the dough edges, seal firmly. Dredge in dry flour and roll out to a circle.
Heat a tava/skillet and cook the paratha using a little oil until golden brown spots appear on both sides.
Serve immediately with fresh curds.

I love adding leafy greens to my parathas. Methi aloo paratha is a winter treat for us as here in North India we get methi only during winter months.

Who can resist aloo parathas in the morning for breakfast especially on a cold wintery day? I love aloo parathas and tend to add fresh fenugreek whenever possible. Adds such a lovely earthy taste to the parathas. Aloo parathas remind me of the piping hot parathas we had on our way to Vrindavan some years ago dripping with desire ghee.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀 my favourite way to eat paratha dripping in ghee and hot....
The Girl Next Door says
I make Aloo Paratha and Methi Rotis, but never thought of combining the two things together. What an idea!
Love that you have slightly sauteed the methi leaves first, before adding them to the stuffing. Will try this out next time.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks,Priya.
Sujata Roy says
Who can say no to aloo paratha. And you made the aloo paratha more tasty by adding methi. Paratha looks so inviting. I wish I could taste your delicious paratha.
