A fibre-rich roti made with whole wheat flour, fresh fenugreek leaves (methi), and garlic. A healthy low-GI flatbread perfect for diabetic meals.
Methi (fenugreek) leaves are widely known in Indian kitchens for their slightly bitter flavour and numerous health benefits. They are especially beneficial for diabetics as they contain soluble fibre, which helps slow down sugar absorption and regulate blood glucose levels. Garlic, on the other hand, supports heart health, improves insulin sensitivity, and adds a delicious aroma.
This methi & garlic roti is a simple yet powerful addition to diabetic-friendly diets. Whole wheat flour provides complex carbs and fibre, while the methi and garlic add medicinal value. It is cooked with minimal oil, making it light, nourishing, and easy to digest.
These rotis can be paired with light curries, dals, or even enjoyed with plain curd for a wholesome meal. Nutritious, tasty, and filling, they make an excellent replacement for regular wheat rotis in daily meals.
In a mixing bowl, add wheat flour, chopped methi, garlic, cumin, green chilli, and salt.
