Palak puri is a wonderful breakfast idea, the colour is just from palak but so vibrant and appealing. This is also a recipe I learnt from my friend Sangeeta. Really easy to prepare. 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 ½ cups |
| Green chilies | 4 |
| Oman/ajwain | 1 tsp |
| Salt&water | As needed |
METHOD:
-
- Saute the palak leaves,little till the reduce in volume(just one minute).
- 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)Â Serve with Boondi raita!
- Saute the palak leaves,little till the reduce in volume(just one minute).
Boondi Raita:
Ingredients:
| Kara boondhi(I used Haldiram's) | ½ cup |
| Curd | ½ cup |
| Asafetida | ¼ tsp |
| Red chilli powder | ¼ tsp |
| coriander leaves | for garnishing |
| Mustard (optional) | ½ tsp |
| Oil(optional) | 1 tsp |
| salt & water | as needed |
Method:
- Soak the boondi in warm 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 boondis gently in the curd. Now it's ready! Is it not cool? But tastes like heaven.

Raks anand

Pratibha Singh

Ritu Bemby
Try palak raita with finely chopped garlic n chopped palak blanched No cooking required
Nandini Manjunath
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.
Raks anand
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 🙂
