Notes
Tips:
1) Firstly, we don't need any elaborate side dish for this tasty methi paratha as it has all the needed spices on its own. Just a simple pickle and curd will be enough.
2) Also tastes great with any north Indian style gravy like Paneer butter masala or Palak Paneer.
3) If you are concerned about the green chillies because of small kids, just skip chillies and use only chilli powder.
