Methi Paratha

Me and my husband are avid fans of Methi/ Fenugreek vegetable.It's must have item whenever we go to Indian store. He quoted once that if you cook Methi or Aloo-Baingan for 365 days a year I will not complaint at all(Will be easy for me right?). Now you get the idea how much he likes it.

Considering this I bought extra bunch in addition to the other to prepare paratha/methiche Thepale as we call it at home.Here is the recipe.
