Mom's classic "methi roti" preparation by me!!

                       It was a sunday evening,I was really enjoying the movie on television with a snack in my hand.My mom was in kitchen doing something,which I didn't even care of knowing.She called me with a loud voice as if she was scolding.I was wondering why she is shouting suddenly.Then I went to kitchen,she asked me to switch off the TV,I did it.I expected that there is going to be a thesis of methi roti,which she was preparing for dinner.
                       But this time it was a practical class!!She gave me the soft dough and asked me to make the roti.It looked simple in theory class but its not.I mixed it with a little amount of water,oil,onions and methi leaves.It looked like this.So colourful right?? It was a bit sticky in nature.


                        Then I made it into small balls,we usually make for roti.Then I tried to spread it like a roti.I got weird shapes.My mom was making fun of me.She exclaimed "You are a born artist,you are making world map with the dough !!". I kept quite because I had no other option there...Then I put it on a tawai with medium flame and cooked it.

                     

                         After making two rotis, I was completely exhausted and was feeling hungry.So I took those two rotis in my plate for dinner.The taste was good,but shape was really bad.Still I felt proud of myself when I ate the first piece of it.Because this classic methi roti is an all time favourite of all my cousines and now I made them.....!!!


                         These are my wonderful methi rotis.It was served with a kind of rajma beans curry which was tasty and spicy,ofcourse cooked by mom.So it was a memorable Sunday evening...!!!
