He further told that there is a special reason for adding curd in this batter. Curd removes the bitterness of fenugreek and the taste of paratha becomes more soft. After this, finely chopped green chillies, green onions and newly plucked fenugreek leaves are added to the batter. Fresh fenugreek available in winter doubles the taste of this paratha.
After this, celery and salt are added to it, which enhances both the aroma and taste. The batter should neither be too thin nor too thick, only then it spreads well on the pan and it does not take time to cook.
When the pan is hot, the batter is spread in a round shape by applying light oil. It is baked on both sides on low flame. So that the aroma of fenugreek and pulses comes out after cooking properly.
On winter mornings this paratha is often served with green coriander chutney or curd. This desi paratha of Jharkhand still remains the identity of rural kitchen, it is very tasty to eat. That’s why everyone likes it.
