- 1/4 tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp crushed cumin and coriander powder

- Add in wheat flour, besan and mix it well with the methi mix then gradually add water to form a smooth and pliable dough. Knead the dough for a few minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Roll out each ball into a flat, round disc, using a rolling pin and some dry wheat flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa.
- Cook the paratha on one side until you see bubbles, then flip and cook the other side. Apply a little oil or ghee on both sides during the cooking process to get a golden-brown color.
- Once the paratha is cooked on both sides, remove it from the tawa.
- Serve hot Methi Paratha with yogurt, pickles, or any side dish of your choice.
- Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful Methi Paratha!
