Instructions:

  • To prepare Cabbage and Methi Paratha, first finely chop the cabbage, methi and onion
  • Heat oil in a stir-fry pan over medium heat and saute the onions till they turn soft
  • Add the cabbage and cook covered till soft
  • Turn off the heat and let the vegetables cool down
  • To bind the dough for the paratha, combine together whole wheat flour, oat bran, cabbage, methi leaves, curd and spices and bind the dough using a little water if needed
  • Knead the dough well for few minutes
  • Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes, this helps the dough to soften
  • Divide the dough in small size equal parts
  • Roll out each portion into a round parantha to a prefered thickness
  • Do make sure you keep dusting it in flour, so the the paratha does not stick to the surface while rolling
  • Preheat the tawa (griddle) on medium heat
  • Place the rolled out dough on the heated tawa and cook on medium heat both sides till it is slightly browned
  • When you notice the brown spots, smear a teaspoon of ghee or oil on both sides and cook until the paratha has turned golden brown and lightly crisp on both sides
  • Once the paratha is done, place it on a platter and proceed to cook the remaining parathas
  • Serve Cabbage and Methi Paratha with Tomato Onion Cucumber Raita and Mango Pickle
