I usually have parathas for my breakfast. But on weekends when I wish to eat something different, this is one such recipe which is actually poles apart from the parathas – The Bread Masala. In English it would be called as Spiced Bread.

Bread Masala / Spiced Bread
Bread Masala / Spiced Bread

Like all my other recipes, even this bread masala is very easy and simple to make. All we have to do is prepare a tadka of onion and tomatoes, mix in some spices and add in the bread. You need to cut the bread into small pieces, squares I prefer.

I have also added in some green peas. To make the bread soft and a bit moist we need to sprinkle some water. This we would do at the end. And by sprinkle I really mean just sprinkling few drops of water. If you add more water the bread pieces would break and would get mashed.

You would understand it better by watching the video







Ingredients: (serves 2)

8 Bread slices (cut into small squres)

¼ cup Green peas boiled

1 tsp Mustard Seeds

1 Onion finely chopped

1 tbsp Ginger Garlic finely chopped

1 Tomato chopped

2 Green Chillies sliced

1 tsp Turmeric powder

1 tsp Red Chilli powder

1 tsp Coriander powder

3 tbsp Oil

Methi Paratha or the Fenugreek Flatbread is not from the group of stuffed parathas. The methi leaves (fenugreek leaves) are chopped and kneaded in the dough.


Punjabi Methi Paratha Recipe / Fenugreek Flatbread / How To Make Methi Paratha
Punjabi Methi Paratha Recipe / Fenugreek Flatbread / How To Make Methi Paratha

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.

If you are looking for other varieties of parathas please check Aloo Paratha, Onion Paratha, Gobi Paratha, Mooli Paratha

For better understanding of the recipe I have uploaded the video




Ingredients:

1 cup Fenugreek Leaves (methi leaves) chopped

1 cup Wheat Flour

1 cup Onions chopped

2 Green Chillies chopped

1 tsp Red Chilli powder

1 tsp Garam Masala powder

1/2 cup Water or as required

Salt

Method:

Firstly clean the fenugreek leaves (methi) with water and drain the water. Chop the fenugreek (methi) leaves.

In a bowl, take the chopped fenugreek (methi) leaves and add the wheat flour, followed by the chopped onion, green chillies, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and salt.

Mooli Paratha or we call it in english as Radish Flatbread is a very
famous stuffed paratha from North India, Punjab. It is also a very common breakfast made in almost all the punjabi families. Mooli Paratha is also from the family of stuffed parathas like Aloo Paratha, Gobi Paratha, paneer paratha and so on.

As radish is high in water content, some first fry it and get its juice dried, mix it with the spices and then stuff it in the parathas.

Some like me, I squeeze out the juice from the grated radish, mix in the spices and then proceed towards the stuffing. If the juice is not squeezed out, rolling the paranthas would be very difficult as the parathas would tend to break because of the moisture.

Always remember do not add salt along with the spices in the grated radish. It has to be added once the stuffing is placed on the paratha to be made, that is just before rolling the paratha. Now this is done because as soon as the salt comes in contact with the radish it would again become moist.

Second very important note is to apply oil on your hands before squeezing out the raddish juice. This would prevent any kind of irritation or itching. I always apply mustard oil.

Cook on low to medium heat. Ensure that both the sides are cooked evenly, should be cooked till brown.

Take a small portion of the dough (about the size of a lemon), flatten it in between your palms and roll out into a circle. Keep it aside.

Dust some flour and flip it. Dust flour on the other side and roll out into a bigger circle now. Remember when you cover do not roll on the same side, flip and roll.
Its my personal experience, if u flip and roll both the dough circles would be rolled evenly.

Tips:

Cook it on low to medium heat, it would evenly cook and paratha and make it crispy at the same time.

Apply oil on your hands while squeezing out the juice to avoid irritation and itching.

Do not add salt in the stuffing mixture, it would make it moist and hence parathas would break while rolling. Instead sprinkle it on the stuffing after its placed on the paratha.

The squeezed out juice from radish can be used for kneading the dough
