Ingredients

1 cup of methi leaves
2 cup of flour (atta)
1 ½ teaspoon of garlic, finely chopped
1-2 of green chillies, finely chopped
2 teaspoon of oil
Salt for taste
Water

Procedure

Rinse methi leaves very well in water.
Drain them completely.
Chop the methi leaves finely and keep aside.
Take wheat flour and salt in a bowl.
Then add the chopped methi leaves, green chillies, garlic, and oil.
Knead to a smooth dough using water.
Add more water if required while kneading. If the dough feels sticky then you can add some more whole wheat flour.
Make medium-sized balls of the dough.
Dust the dough ball with some flour and then start rolling the methi paratha.
Place the methi paratha on a hot Tawa or griddle.
When one side is a bit cooked or about ¼ cooked, then flip.
Spread oil or ghee (clarified butter) on this side.
Flip again and you should see some brown spots on the paratha. Apply ghee on this side too.
Flip again a couple of times, till the methi paratha is evenly cooked and has golden spots.
Press the edges with a spatula so that they get cooked.
