Methi Paratha Recipe | Healthy & Flavourful Indian Breakfast | Every Bite

 Ek thandi subah, halke se dhund ke beech garam chai ke saath agar kuch sabse zyada sukoon deta hai, toh woh hai ek garma-garam methi paratha. Methi ki kasak, gehra flavour aur ghar ke hath ka swaad is recipe ko khaas banata hai. Aaj hum banayenge ek aisi methi paratha jo sirf healthy nahi, balki har bite mein desi goodness se bhara hua hoga.

🫓 Yeh methi paratha kuch khaas kyun hai?

Zyada tar log methi paratha ko ek normal breakfast item ke roop mein dekhte hain, lekin mere liye yeh ek emotion hai. Jab maa subah-subah taaza methi ke patte le kar aati thi aur haath se gundha hua aata usmein milakar paratha banati thi, toh poora ghar us khushboo se bhar jaata tha. Aaj bhi jab kabhi unki yaad aati hai, main yeh paratha zaroor banata hoon – maa ke hath ki warmth ke saath.

👩‍🍳 Methi Paratha Recipe – Step by Step:

1. Methi ke patte taiyar karein

Sabse pehle methi ke patte ache se dho lein. Do-teen baar paani badal kar dhoyein taki mitti nikal jaaye. Fir unhe bareek kaat lein. Agar aap chaahein toh ek chhoti si trick: methi ko thoda sa namak lagakar 10 minute rakh dein, fir nichod dein. Isse kadwahat kam ho jaati hai.

2. Aata gundhna

Ek bade parat mein gehun ka aata lein. Usmein methi ke patte, ajwain, jeera, lal mirch, haldi, dhaniya powder, aamchur aur namak daal kar mix karein. Chahein toh 1-2 tablespoon dahi bhi mila sakte hain – yeh paratha ko aur soft banata hai. Thoda-thoda paani milaate hue aise gundhein jaise roti ka aata banate hain – na zyada tight, na bilkul loose. Jaise hi aata narm aur lagatar ho jaaye, usse ek kapde se dhak kar thoda sukoon do – bilkul waise jaise chai ko dam diya jaata hai, taaki har flavour usme ghul mil jaaye.

3. Paratha belna aur sekhna

Ab dough se medium size ke peda banayein. Ab ek peda lein, thoda sukhha aata chhidak kar use pyaar se belna shuru karein – na bahut patla, na zyada mota. Jaise maa belti thi, bilkul waise. Aap chahein toh gol ya thoda triangle shape bhi de sakte hain – jaise ghar ke bacchon ko pasand ho.

Tava garam karein aur paratha daalein. Dono taraf halka brown hone tak sekhein. Phir thoda ghee ya tel lagakar crisp hone tak sekhein. Bas, tayaar hai garma-garam methi paratha!

🥣 Methi Paratha Serve kaise karein?

Methi paratha ko aap dahi, makhan, lehsun chutney ya aam ka achaar ke saath serve karein – swarg jaisa lagta hai! Subah ke nashtay mein, lunchbox mein ya raat ke khane mein – yeh har time perfect fit hai.

❤️ Ek chhoti si baat

Paratha toh sab bana lete hain, lekin usmein apne ghar ka pyaar aur purani yaadon ka tadka daal diya, toh woh ek kahaani ban jaata hai – sirf khaana nahi. Maa ka pyaar, dadi ki muskurahat, aur bachpan ki yaadein – yeh sab milkar is simple recipe ko khaas bana dete hain. Shayad isi liye kehte hain – "Ghar ka khaana sirf pet nahi, dil bhi bhar deta hai."
