Easy palak paratha without stuffing, just add along with sauteed Indian spinach and spices. Crispy and delicious iron rich meal for the family.
I had some left over palak after I made palak poori for my kid and it was too little to make palak paneer or anything else.
I wanted to try aloo palak gravy for long time, but palak was too less. So ended up in making these easy palak paratha.
Why do I call easy?
Because,
- No blanching
- No pureeing
- No stuffing
Justifies right?
Perfect for lunch box, breakfast to kick start your day with this nutrient rich paratha. Make it with desi ghee or makhan, it will get over in no time.
Kids would love this one!
Method
- Wash the spinach, tear the thick stem in the leaf and chop them roughly. Heat a pan with oil and splutter jeera in it. Add the chopped palak and fry in low flame.
2. Cook for 2 minutes, without changing the colour and add it to the flour along with the other ingredients except water.
3. First mix the flour well with spinach and then add water to make a non sticky dough,just like roti/ chapthi dough.
4. Make six equal sized ball and roll out little thicker parathas,dust it while rolling whenever necessary.
5. Heat pan and drizzle some oil and cook the parathas both sides in medium flame,until the golden brown spots appears.
I had with the tomato garlic chutney, you can have it with boondi raita,or simply curd or pickle too.
