Palak Paratha ( Spinach Paratha )

This recipe is very simple to make & nutritious too.

Ingredients :

Palak (spinach)                             1/2 bumch
Lemon juice                                  1/2 tsp (optional)

Wheat flour                                  2 cups

Salt                                              to taste
Oil                                               for shallow frying the paratha

For Palak :

• Blanch the palak in some water for 5 mins & make a puree. Recerve the water for later use while making the paratha dough.            OR
• In this recipe i have just roughly minced the palak in a blender without blanching as this increases the nutritive value of the paratha.

Method :

1. In a parat add the wheat flour & all the spices, lemon juice. little oil & salt & mix well.

2. Now add the palak & knead into a soft dough. Let it rest for some time.

3. Make equal size balls.

4. Roll them into semi thick paratha & shallow fry till light golden brown.

5. Serve with mango pickle or raita or plain curd.

6. Enjoy!
