this was also a pleasant surprise 'cos it was surprisingly delicious..! i had got some mint to try growing them..the leaves was not required to plant them ..what to do with the leaves..i didnt want to make green chutney..i remembered having seen Mint paratha in Sanjeev kapoor's book ..but was not sure if i shud try it ..Mint paratha ! wonder how it wud taste..anyway going ahead by my instincts i decided to give it a try just for me & Adi (my son)..husband wudnt be willing to have it ..;or so i thot..

but when i made it i was pleasantly surprised ..'cos it was too melt in in the mouth with a nice flavour ..& guess what !! husband loved it & said "why did u keep only one for me??"...

Ingredients:

1. Whole wheat flour - 2 cups
2. fresh mint leaves - 1 cup
3. salt to taste

How to make Mint parathas:

Wash & pat dry mint leaves. Dry half of it on a hot tawa or griddle. Cool & crush to a powder using hands. Keep aside.

Chop remaining mint leaves finely. Add to this whole wheat flour & salt & make a soft dough using enough water. Divide the dough into balls.

Roll out each ball into a thin paratha .Make rotis out of it without oil..it will come like phulkas..!

Finally sprinkle dried mint powder that u made in step 1 over the parathas..

the original recipe required to add butter to the dough + the paratha was made like the flaky paratha (malabar paratha)..but i thot this was healthier..
