    Home » Indian Breakfast recipes » Roti | Parathas

    Methi Paratha | Fenugreek Leaves Flatbread

    Published: Feb 11, 2015 · by Nisha

    Weekends are for leisure. Schools are closed, offices are closed and everyone becomes a do-nothing. But "Kitchen" is the only department that cannot be shut down completely. To ease and facilitate things for us brunch has become a very common affair during weekends. This week you can find three different Parathas that are sumptuous and scrumptious for a weekend brunch. 
    Methi Paratha | Fenugreek Leaves Flatbread

    I feel Parathas are one of the best option for having as a brunch. For one, they are so filling and the next best thing is that it can be made ahead. The dough, the gravy (if served along ) can be made the previous night and rest of the accompaniments are readily available. All you have to do is roll out the Parathas. What more can be a wholesome treat to anyone's palate ?  Finish it off with a cold chaas or a lassi and you can be full for the entire day!!
