Nutritious Bajra and Methi Parathas are iron-rich with a wealth of fibre too.
Bajra also Pearl Millet and is generally consumed during the winter so when there is an abundance of methi leaves aka fenugreek leaves try making this paratha.
Though the kiddo was sure I had added something "healthy" and they are not the normal methi paratha, she did polish off a few. New ingredients I have to disguise/ not mention then it gets eaten. Do you do the same??
These parathas I made the same day as I made these crackers and the girl could not quite make up her mind what she wanted to eat. 😀
You can read up on the health benefits of Bajra or Pearl Millet here.
The recipes I have tried in the past with Bajra are
- Sajji Rotti for Bhogi Habba~Sankranti Special
- Bajre ki Khichidi and Lassi ~Indian State Haryana
Parathas we love and I have tried a few
- Paneer Paratha for a Protein-Rich Breakfast
- Simple Paratha with Leftover Moong Dal
- Nutritious Sattu ka Paratha, an Indian Bread Stuffed With Roasted Gram
- Aloo Paratha
- Mooli ke Parathe/ Radish Paratha Indian Flat Bread

What a wonderful recipe using bajra and fresh fenugreek. Perfect for breakfast or to enjoy as part of a main meal. Like your Bajra and Methi Parathas, going to make them instead of the usual plain parathas.
