Methi Paratha

I used Methi leaves from my vegetable garden to make these parathas!!

INGREDIENTS:
Wheat flour (Atta) - 1 cup
Methi leaves - 1 handful washed and cut into small pieces
Onion - 1/2 cut into very small pieces
Cumin seeds - 2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Chilli powder - 1/4 tsp
Extra Virgin olive oil (EVOO) - 2 tsp
salt - as per taste (about 1 tsp)
water - as needed

PREPARATION:
1. Heat EVOO in a small pan and add cumin seeds. Then add onions and fry for a minute. Add turmeric powder, chilli powder, methi leaves and little bit of salt and fry for a minute. Add this fried mixture to the flour, add more salt and water and make the dough.
2. Make small round balls and roll the dough using rolling pin.
3. Heat griddle (tava) and fry the parathas one by one using very less oil for one side alone.
4. Voila! the parathas are ready! Makes about 8 medium-sized parathas.
