Methi roti/ thepla

Makes 10 roti

I always wanted to make some dishe with methi leaves/ Vendhaya keerai.  But never bought Methi leaves. This time while shopping I got fresh Methi leaves/ Vendhaya keerai.Tried this roti and it was awesome.

Ingredients:

• Methi leaves/ Vendhaya keerai- 3/4 cup 
• Wheat flour/ attached- 1&1/2 cup
• Cumin -1/2 tsp
• Butter milk - As needed ( to make dough)
• Oil -3 tbsp
• Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
• Red chilli powder- 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric powder -1/4 tsp
• Salt - To taste

Method:

• Remove the leaf part alone of methi/ Vendhaya keerai. Wash it twice. Chop them roughly.
• In a pan add 1 tsp of oil and saute the leaves till they reduce in volume.
• Now in a bowl add atta, Methi leaves and all the spice powders with oil and mix it well.
• Add buttermilk for making the dough. Dough should be soft and pliable.
• When the chapathi/ roti dough is ready apply oil on top of the dough and close the bowl to prevent it from becoming dry. Let it rest for about an hour.
• Then knead it well, make equal sized balls and make it into rotis.
• Serve hot with any raita or just plain curd and pickle.

Notes:

• Adding buttermilk and oil makes your roti soft.
