Methi Dhania Parantha


Paranthas  are a very good option for breakfast especially in winters. We can make a variety of paranthas.  Fenugreek is very good for health as its rich in antioxidants and dietary fibre. Cilantro(coriander leaves) is a powerful herb with lots of health benefits. Lets combine all the benefits to get a healthy and tasty dish.
