Methi - Mooli -Palak Parata is a simply superb item for the breakfast or
dinner. It is full of energetic and loaded with all vitamins and
minerals. It is easy to prepare like any other paratas. We can eat these
Paratas with a cup of curd and pickle. Paratas are from Punjab and
North India and they use lots of ghee, butter or oil to prepare paratas.
It will be full of spices like garam masala or other masalas. It
is not that easy to digest. But I think In their region they do hard
work and it will be easily digested.
One of the evening when I was lazy to cook, idea of putting all these, mooli (Rasdish), Methi Leaves and Palak leaves together just flashed in my mind.. Mooli, Methi and Palak leaves are used with some garam masala, jeera and chilly powder.
