How to make Methi paratha (Thepla):

Mix everything thoroughly so that all the species are mixed well with the flour.  Grease your hands with a tsp of oil and knead the dough well. Cover and keep it aside for 15-20 minutes. Prepare the dough just as you prepare for chapati.

Now using 1/4 cup water (or as required) prepare a soft, smooth dough. Grease your hands with a teaspoon of oil and knead the dough well. Cover and keep aside for 10-15 minutes. Prepare the dough just as you prepare for chapati.
