It is a nutritious and healthy Indian breakfast delicacy.

For making spinach or palak parathas, the spinach can be added to the flour in a variety of forms,

1. You can either make a puree out of the blanched palak and knead the dough from it.

2. Palak can be finely chopped and the dough can be prepared out of chopped palak.

3. We have the option of sauteeing the chopped palak in a little oil and then add the flour to it to make the parathas.

Tips and variations for Palak ka Paratha

• The addition of the curd makes the paratha softer from the inside, however, its use is optional. you can skip using curd and instead can use more water to knead the dough
• You can use oil or ghee to roast the paratha on tawa or griddle, the quantity of oil or ghee used also differ as per the individual preference.
• I have used 1 onion with spinach because an onion combination with spinach makes the paratha even tastier. You can use more of the spinach if you are not having onion.
• I have used 1 deseeded green chili and 1/4 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder for the spiciness. However, using only green chilies or red chili powder or a combination of both is your choice.

Making Palak Paratha Dough

1. Firstly, take 1 cup palak, wash it thoroughly after plucking the stems.

2. Additionally, take 1 onion and 1 green chili deseeded.

3. Further, chop drained palak, onion, and green chili finely. I have chopped them together in a chopper.

4. Additionally, add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1.5 tsp oil to the chopped palak mixture in a bowl.

5. Add 1 cup whole wheat flour to it.

6. Mix well, the chopped onion and spinach will leave some water, use that to knead the flour. Add 1/4 tsp red chili powder to it as I have used 1 deseeded green chili only so I am using some Kashmiri red chili powder also.

7. Add 1 tbsp curd to the mixture now. To start with, use only 1/2 tbsp curd, knead and if required use more curd and water.

8. Knead into the dough using curd and use the water as per the requirement. I have used 1 tbsp water for making the dough. Let the dough rest for 5-10minutes.

9. Further add 1.5 tsp oil to the dough and knead well to make it smooth.

10. Take some dough, make a ball out of it and start rolling it after dusting some flour on it.
