Methi Paratha Recipe for Kids

It's important for children to eat enough fruits and vegetables, but of course, this is easier said than done! The only way Moms can include these in their kids' diet is by finding innovative ways to sneak them in. Adding veggies to whole wheat flour with minimal spices results in a delicious and healthy treat for kids!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups wholewheat flour
• 1/4 cup thick curd
• Water as needed to make a dough
• A pinch of Hing
• 2 tsp white sesame seeds
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 cup chopped methi leaves
• 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
• 1/2 tsp chopped green chillies (optional)
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/4 tsp coriander powder
• 1/4 tsp red chilli powder (optional)
• 2 tsp ghee for the dough and extra to smear on the parathas

Method:

1. Add all the ingredients in a large bowl except the flour, water and ghee.

2. Mix well and then add the flour.

3. Now add water little by little to make a semi soft dough. Apply ghee and knead again. Set the dough aside for 15 mins to rest.

4. Roll out the parathas using a bit of dry flour, making them thicker than rotis. Cook them using some ghee on both sides until golden brown and slightly crisp.

5. Serve warm with some pickles & curd. Ketchup or chutney also works well for kids.

This is a great dish to serve for breakfast, in the lunchbox or for dinner. It's also great to pack on a journey instead of crisps or sugar laden biscuits! Just spread some sauce, roll it up and serve!
