It’s so chilled outside….almost …..12 degree, in the morning at 5 a.m. Wearing sweater, socks, track pant for whole days cause I am feeling that we are staying at Manali….oohhhhh……its so cold here. Saee having running nose and little bit of cough too, but still ready to give pose for a click….

My model..

Am I looking so thin or in shape ?

Winter is my favorite season. You will get a fresh variety of food and veggies in the market. This is the season where you can feed a variety of food to your kiddos which are fresh and juicy too.

Methi which is also known as Fenugreek is one of my favorite vegetable. They are rich in antioxidant, iron and good source of fiber. Though it is bitter in taste but have so many healthy benefits like, enhance breast milk production, reduce cholesterol, regulate blood sugar and control Diabetes, protect from cancer and help in digestion.

Today I am sharing a recipe of Methi Paratha, which is husband and toddler approved.  I love making various kind of paratha. No…no…no…not all paratha approved by Nitin….ha …this is one of his favorite dish, if it is served with curd raita. No matter saee is following to her dad too. She also love all paratha….its my luck whatever vegetable I want to serve her I make the paratha…and….she finish it all with tomato sauce or curd. Sigh....she loves curd so much……knock on the wood plzzz….. This is my trick to feed both of them the vegetables that they don’t like so much or avoid to eating. Many of you also doing the same thing na…..?

This is very simple recipe with step by step pictorial presentation.

Knead dough like chapatti by mixing all ingredients like flour, curd, chopped methi leaves, haldi powder, red chilli powder, ginger and garlic paste and salt.

And keep it aside with covered for at least 10 minute. Then make a lemon size ball and dip in the floor. Dust some floor on rolling pin and roll out round shape chapatti.

Heat a tawa and place the rolled chapatti on it and cook for a minute. When bubbles star appearing apply little oil and flip it on the other side, cook until got some crispy and golden color.
