This is quite a lazy man's dish. Yeah. This kind of masala mixed chapathis will be really helpful for many of us. I saw the procedure to make Methi Tepla in a television program. The chef also added a point that you can make it simply as a masala mixed chapathi. He said it will also be very tasty. I just wished to give a try. The main reason is that, we could have this chapathi with simply curd. It can be used a breakfast as well as lunch. So I decided to make it and have. Instead of adding raw methi leaves, I sauted them and added. I thought it might increase the taste. I made this a very long back. No only I got time to publish the post. This is a very simple recipe to make. We have the health benefits of vendhaya keerai included in this chapathi. You could call it as Methi Chapathi or Methi Roti. Recently, this is one of my favorite food items. This makes a perfect lunch along with half a cup of curd. I don't think another side dish is needed for it. Reshmi also liked it very much. I reduced the spices in her chapathis.
