Palak Paratha

I hate to admit that I'm not very fond of spinach, but knowing its health benefits I always try and incorporate it in different ways in our diet. I just chop a few leaves and add it to any gravy.

This is the first time I made Spinach parathas.

I was looking for a recipe to send to the 'Easy Breezy Breakfast Event' and found this recipe at

Laavanya's Cookery Corner. I just made a few changes. The parathas were soft, looked and tasted great and of course healthy.

Ingredients:

2cups whole wheat flour

3cups baby spinach

3-4green chillies

1tsp coriander powder

1tsp cumin powder

salt to taste

water as required

Little ghee/butter

Method:

Wash the spinach and drain excess water. Put it in a microwave safe bowl and micro on high for 1min to blanch the leaves.

Grind the spinach and green chillies to a paste. Mix all the ingredients to make a soft dough. Keep in an air-tight container or cover with a damp cloth and keep aside for some time.

Make balls out of the dough and roll into thin chappatis. Smear a little ghee on top. 

Fold and roll again into thick parathas.

Heat a griddle and roast the parathas, smearing a little ghee on each side till light brown and puffed.

Serve hot with pickles and curd.
