Venthayakeerai-Chappathy

#VenthayakeeraiChappathy or #MethyChappathy or #FenugreekLeafChappathy : Generally #venthayakeerai is used in the preparation of koottu [ lentil ] only. We all know green leafy vegetables are rich source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. So in order to consume #fenugreekleaves in a different way I have used it in the preparation of chappathy. Here comes the method of preparation.

Ingredients :
2 cups                                 Multi grain wheat flour or Whole wheat flour
1/8 cup                               Amaranth seeds cooked
1/4 Tsp                               Shajeera or Cumin seeds
1/4 Tsp                               Ajwain [ omam ]
1 pinch                               Asafoetida
3/4 Tsp                              Salt
1 cup                                 Venthaya keerai [ Fenugreek leaf ], chop nicely
1 Tsp                                 Oil [ I used gingelly oil ]

Enough oil to make chappathy.

Method :
Wash the venthaya keerai thoroughly in water two or three times.
Keep on a cutting board or colander to drain water.

Take all other ingredients in a wide mouthed vessel.
Add chopped venthaya keerai and enough water.
Knead into a tight dough.
Add a tsp of oil and knead until dough becomes soft.

Keep a tawa on a stove over medium flame.
Make roti using a rolling pin over a platform.
Put the rolled roti over the hot tawa.

Add few drops of oil and spread evenly over the roti with dosai ladle.

Flip the other side and spread a few drops of oil on this side also.

Transfer into a casserole after cooking well on both the sides.
Enjoy with lentil or with any side dish of your choice.


Dry cuury can be spread over the chappathy.
Tightly roll them and enjoy. These rolls can be packed for lunch.
Easy to carry and more over tasty and healthy too.
