Makki ka Methi Paratha - Cooking With Sapana

We are in the last week of BM#50 and my theme for the week is Bookmarked recipes. This recipe is from my mother in law that I wanted to post on blog since long time . So for the first day I made makki ka Methi Paratha .I had already posted the other variations of this Paratha. I like this paratha as the methi leaves when combined with cornmeal gives a very aromatic and delicious flavor.

So let’s start the recipe.yum
