This is also a recipe I learnt from my friend Sangeeta….palak puri is made by adding palak puree while making dough for puri. This boondi raita is a perfect combo for palak puri, it goes well with each other. Enjoy the recipe 🙂
Ingredients:
| Palak/Spinach(stem removed and chopped) | 1 cup tightly packed |
| wheat flour | 1 1/2 cups |
| Green chilies | 4 |
| Oman/ajwain | 1 tsp |
| Salt&water | As needed |
METHOD:
-
- Saute the palak leaves,little till the reduce in volume(say for a minute or two).
-
- Cool down and grind it with green chillies and water till smooth.
- Take the flour and add salt,ajwain to it and this ground spinach and make to a smooth dough,as we make for pooris.(Add water little as needed).
- Make small balls and roll into pooris as we do for the ordinary pooris.
- Deep fry in hot oil.(Keep in Medium flame)
- Serve with Boondhi raita!
Boondhi Raita:
Ingredients:
| Kara boondhi(I used Haldiram’s) | 1/2 cup |
| Curd | 1/2 cup |
| Asafetida | 1/4 tsp |
| Red chilli powder | 1/4 tsp |
| coriander leaves | for garnishing |
| Mustard (optional) | 1/2 tsp |
| Oil(optional) | 1 tsp |
| salt & water | as needed |
Method:
- Soak the boondhis in hot water for 15 minutes.(till the boondhis blow up..I.e.. till they are soft)
- Mix salt,asafetida in curd,temper if desired.
- Mix the soaked boondhis gently in the curd.Now its ready! Is it not cool! But tastes like heaven!

hi
i tried palak poori n came yummy..we all loved it..thanks raks.
thank u sooooo muchh.. i tried this today and packed for lunch for my daughter. very tasty thanq so much.
Just tried this recipe for dinner tonight. It was a hit, thank u for the lovely recipe.
Can we make palak roti in this method instead of poori?
Sure you can, i have done that
lovely
Try palak raita with finely chopped garlic n chopped palak blanched No cooking required
Rak,a doubt.should we add water,to grind palak?it may become too watery.i do prepare it
Just confirming.it tastes v nice.
Yes, I do add little water and use it to knead the dough. We never add any other water to add knead dough right, so it will be just right for the dough 🙂
Wow super recipe…
Wow super recipe…������
Can I add jeera, instead of ajwain?
Sure
