Methi Paratha or green leaf bread of India, is made with very nutritious leafy vegetable. It's unique flavor gives very nice taste to the bread. I love having it any time, for break fast, lunch/dinner. There are many versions of methi paratha with simple variations, some prepare stuffed one, some prepare onion-methi paratha etc., today we will see the basic version of methi paratha.
