Traditionally, we call this 'Makki-Methi Ki Beri'. This is a Saatvik treat people enjoy in winters and it's very tasty. :)

Categories     Breads

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups yellow maize flour (Makkai, available at any Indian grocery store. Maize is Spanish for 'Corn', so a regular corn flour )
salt
red chili powder, to taste
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1 cup fresh fenugreek leaves, cleaned, washed and finely chopped (methi)
1 -2 green chili, washed, ends trimmed and finely chopped
hot water, to knead, as required
oil or ghee, to fry

Steps:

  • In a bowl, sift together the maize flour, salt, red chili and coriander powders together.
  • Add green chillies and fenugreek leaves to the bowl.
  • Mix well.
  • Add hot water, as required, and knead the mixture well into a dough (similar to how you make puri dough).
  • Pinch off small rounds of the dough.
  • Use a rolling pin and make beris on a board dusted with flour (like you make rotis), about 4-6 inches in diameter.
  • Use ghee/oil and hot water to flatten them gently and carefully.
  • Fry the beris on a hot tava (non-stick griddle) using a teaspoons or two of ghee or oil and spreading it all over each beri.
  • Serve hot with mango pickle and buttermilk on a cold winter night to enjoy it to the max!

I found the flavor of the fenugreek leaves to be a bit too strong.

I'm not a huge fan of fenugreek leaves, but I actually really enjoyed this bread. The flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bread turned out perfect. It was soft and fluffy on the inside and had a nice golden crust on the outside. I served it with a simple tomato sauce and it was delicious.

This recipe was a hit! The fenugreek leaves added a unique flavor that I had never experienced before. I will definitely be making this again.
