Palak(Spinach)(ପlଳଙ୍ଗ ପରଟା) paratha.....

Spinach Paratha is an Indian unleavened bread made from whole wheat flour and spinach.I had some left over palak after I made palak curry,it was too little to make palak paneer or anything else.So ended up in making palak paratha. Had it with onion tomato chutney/curd/pickle,the best combo I would say!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Wheat flour(atta)-1 cup.
  • Palak(spinach)(washed & chopped)-1 cup.
  • Cumin seeds-1 tsp.
  • Roasted Red chili powder-1 tsp.
  • Oil-2 tsp for seasoning+oil for frying parathas.
  • Salt to taste.
  • Water as needed.

PREPARATION:


  • Wash the spinach & tear the thick stem in the leaf & chop them roughly.

  • Heat oil in a pan,add cumin seeds,when it start spluttering,add chopped spinach,fry few min in low flame without changing its beautiful green color & keep aside.

  • Take a bowl,add wheat flour,cooked palak,red chili powder,salt & needed water & make a soft dough,the dough should not be sticky.

  • Divide the prepared dough equally & make ball out of it & then roll out little thicker parathas,dust it while rolling,whenever necessary.

  • Heat a pan,put the roll out parathas on it,when bubbles appear,spread oil on it,flip it over to the other side,spread oil again,cook the paratha in medium flame, until the golden brown spot appears.

  • "Palak paratha" is ready to serve..Serve hot with onion tomato chutney...
