मेथी के पराठे बनाने की प्रक्रिया

  1. मेथी के साग को जड़ से 1-1.5 इंच छोड़कर काट लें और फिर उसे 2-3 बार साफ पानी से अच्छी तरह धो लें।
  2. अब मेथी के साग को बारीक रूप से काट लें और मेथी के पराठे बनाने के लिए अन्य सामग्री तैयार करें।
  3. फिर एक गहरे बर्तन में गेहूं का आटा डालें और इसमें थोड़ा रिफाइंड तेल डालें। आटे में तेल को मिलाएं और देखें कि आटा बंध रहा है या नहीं।
  4. अब इसमें बारीक कटा हुआ प्याज, हरी मिर्च, हल्दी पाउडर और नमक डालें।
  5. फिर इसमें बारीक कटा हुआ मेथी के साग डालें और सूखी सामग्री को एक साथ मिलाएं।
  6. अब सूखी सामग्री में के मिश्रण में धीरे-धीरे पानी डालें। सामग्री को गूंध कर मध्यम सख्त आटा बनालें। इस पतीले को ढक्कन के साथ ढक कर और मेथी के पराठे बनाने केलिए तैयार आटे को 5 मिनट तक अलग रख दें।
  7. फिर एक तावा गरम करें और इस पर 1 छोटी चम्मच देसी घी डालकर फैलाएं (आप अपनी आवश्यकता के अनुसार रिफाइंड तेल का उपयोग कर सकते हैं)।
  8. अब मेथी के पराठे बनाने केलिए तैयार आटा लें और इसकी छोटी-छोटी लोई तैयार करें। लोई का आकार चपाती के लिए तैयार आटे की लोई के आकार से बड़ा होना चाहिए।
  9. चकला और बेलन पर घी लगकर उन्हे चिकना कर लें और फिर चकले पर मेथी के पराठे बनाने के लिए तैयार आटे की एक लोई रखें। फिर इसे अपने हाथ से टिक्की की तरह हल्का सा दबा दें।
  10. फिर इस लोई को चपाती के जैसे गोल बेल लें। बिला हुआ मेथी का पराठा, चपाती से थोड़ा मोटा होना चाहिए।
  11. अब इस मेथी के पराठे को गरम तवे के ऊपर डालें और आँच को मध्यम स्तर तक कम कर दें। मेथी के पराठे को एक तरफ अच्छे से पकने दें, और फिर पलट कर दूसरी तरफ भी इसी तरह से पकाएं। फिर से पलट दें और पराठे की ऊपर वाली तरफ 1 छोटी चम्मच देसी घी डालकर फैलाएं। फिर से पलट दें और पराठे की दूसरी तरफ भी 1 छोटी चम्मच देसी घी डालकर फैलाएं।। उलट-पलट कर, दबा-दबाकर पराठे की दोनों तरफ को सुनहरा लाल होने तक सेक लें। आँच मध्यम ही रखें।
  12. तैयार गर्मा-गरम मेथी के पराठे को एक प्लेट में निकालें। इसी तरह शेष मेथी के पराठे तैयार करें और उन्हें अचार के साथ परोसें।
