A wholesome flatbread full of nutrition is the Palak Paratha! Just love this wonderful green colored Indian Flatbread. It is so tasty that I love to carry it as my Tiffin!
INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
2 cup Spinach
1 Green Chilli
1" Adrak | Ginger
1 tsp Jeera | Cumin Seeds
Spinach blanched water
1 tsp Oil
1 tsp Oil
Homemade Ghee | Clarified Butter for Paratha
Whole Wheat Flour, for dusting
METHOD
- Wash and clean the Spinach.
- Add 1 cup of water to a vessel and let the water come to a boil. Keep aside.
- Add Spinach to the boiling water and after 2 minutes drain and keep the blanched spinach aside. Retain the water.
- Make a fine puree of the blanched spinach, green chillies, adrak and cumin.
- In a mixing bowl add whole wheat flour, salt and spinach puree.
- Knead a stiff dough. Add oil and knead for 2 minutes. If required you may add little of the blanched spinach water. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.
- Since spinach will let out some water, the dough when kneaded must be stiff.
- Place the tava on the gas on high flame. Spread Oil | Ghee| Clarified Butter on the surface and when this gets hot, reduce the flame to medium (You may use any vegetable oil).
- Place the rolled Paratha on the hot tava. Let one side cook for about 2 minutes. Flip to the other side. Gently drizzle very little Ghee|Clarified butter on its surface. Once both the sides have got golden brown spots, the Paratha is done. Continue similarly for the remaining parathas.
- Serve hot with any Raita | Pickle, Tomato Sauce, Podi | Chutney | Thogaiyal or Homemade Butter | Plain Curd.
Many a time I make these Palak Parathas as wraps for Kathi Roll | Frankie!
