Aloo-Methi Stuffed Paratha | Potato-Fenugreek leaves Stuffed Indian Flatbread (VEGAN)

Winter is on full phase these days in Indian subcontinent. And particularly during this time period, a no of green leafy vegetables like spinach leaves (palak saag), fenugreek leaves (methi saag), radish leaves (mooli saag), amaranth leaves (cholai saag) and many mores are the fresh seasonal produces those would pave their way through our kitchens. Among these, it is true that particularly the fenugreek leaves are the bitter pungent leaves which are not so popular among kids and as well as fussy-eaters. But methi leaves / fenugreek leaves are a storehouse of health benefits. These are packed with galactomannan, which plays an instrumental role in combating the risk of heart disease as well diabetes. This compound helps in slowing down blood sugar absorption. It is also a good source of soluble fiber and is excellent for digestion. So we should develop a taste for these green leaves. From parathas to pakodas to saag, there are so many places we can sneak in these lovely winter greens. 


Well today is the first Monday of this new year and the Foodie Monday Blog Hop team has decided the 177th theme as ‘Magic of Fresh Methi Leaves‘ that means we have to prepare a dish using fresh methi / fenugreek leaves, not using the dried version (kasoori methi). I have already shared an Indian flatbread using these methi leaves as ‘Methi Lachhaa paratha‘ and today I am again back with another stuffed Indian flatbread using these leaves as ‘Aloo-Methi Stuffed Paratha‘ or ‘Potato-Fenugreek Leaves Stuffed Indian Flatbread‘ for the theme contribution.

Aloo-methi is an everyday affair in my kitchen during these days which is so easy, tasty as well as loaded with softness of potatoes and the pleasing bitterness of methi.

For most of Indian also, this is a much appreciated dry dish for the accompaniment with chapati / roti. Well, how about the idea of stuffing this awesome dish in paratha 😉 Interesting, isn’t it ?

Yes, here I have come up with some stuffed paratha with stuffing as ‘aloo-methi’. The dish is completely prepared without using Onion & Garlic. Even I have not opted ghee to smear the paratha, instead used normal cooking oil. These stuffed flat-breads which are so soft and delicious, shall definitely attract by all age group on the breakfast table. Just with some curd and pickle, the combo will be a bang-on type.

    Perfect winter breakfast treat. With methi in season, I have been adding it to most of the dishes at home now, especially breakfast parathas or rotis even. Looks super tempting.

  8. Mayuri Patel

    Sasmita adding methi leaves to the aloo stuffing was something my neighbor taught me when I had just started learning how to cook different parathas. It really makes the parathas taste so different. Anyway potato and methi is a classic combination.

  9. Sujata Shukla

    Like most people, I enjoy methi paratha on chill evenings. And of course aloo paratha. This combination of two favourites in one paratha is right up my alley. Next time I pick up some fresh methi, my kitchen is going to surely see the aloo methi paratha being made. Love this recipe, Sasmita!

  10. Swati

    Whenever i have fresh methi in hand I always sneak in my paranthas and chappati dough. Paneer paranthas or aloo paranthas with fresh methi leaves is something goes into kids lunchboxes or make it on weekends whenever we are plan to stay out for long, .Loved your pics, lovely share.
