Instructions 'To begin making the Besan Methi Paratha Recipe, we will first make the filling for the paratha. Heat a pan with oil on medium heat, add in the cumin seeds, ajwain and asafoetida and allow it to sizzle. To this add the besan and allowing it to roast on medium-high heat stirring continuously. Once the besan has turned into a light brown colour, add in the dry spices - red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, amchur powder, garam masala and salt to taste. Mix well, and add the chopped methi leaves into the pan. Mix well and allow the methi leaves to wilt and combine well with the besan mix. Turn off the flame, transfer the besan methi stuffing mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool down to room temperature.
