It is very simple and easy to make yet delicious. It goes well with plain curd or even tea. But yes, do not forget to top it up with the home made white butter. Any paratha remains incomplete without the home made white butter.

I also added in some chopped onions to give it an extra flavor and taste. These Methi Parathas (fenugreek flatbread) can also be packed for the tiffins as they stay soft for long.
