    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??

      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.
