Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup Wheat Flour
  • 2 tbsp Gram flour
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp carom seeds
  • 1 tsp Red Chilli flakes
  • salt
  • 3-4 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 tbsp crushed ginger, garlic & green Chilli
  • 3 tbsp Desi Ghee
  • 1.5 cup of Chopped Spinach
  • Water to make Dough
  • Dry wheat flour for making the Paratha

Instructions
 

  • Take 2 cups of Wheat Flour in a large bowl. Add 2 tbsp Gram flour, 1 tsp cumin, ¼ tsp carom seeds, 1 tsp Red Chilli flakes, and salt as per taste.
  • Add 3-4 tbsp chopped coriander leaves and 1 tbsp crushed ginger, garlic & green Chilli.
  • Pour 3 tbsp Desi Ghee and mix everything very well using your hands.
  • Add 1.5 cup of Chopped Spinach. Mix it well with the Flour.
  • Now, start adding water gradually to make a tight dough. We don’t want to make a soft dough as the veggies will leave the water when we will put the dough to rest.
  • The dough is ready. Knead it well for 2 minutes and then cover the lid and keep it aside for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, we will check the dough and knead it for a minute. The dough is ready to make the Spinach Paratha now.
  • Now, we will make balls out of the dough to roll and make the Palak Paratha. The ball should be slightly bigger than we make for normal Roti.
  • Coat the ball in dry Wheat flour and Roll it to the size of Roti using a Rolling board and Pin. If it feels sticky, apply more wheat flour.
  • Apply 2-3 drops of Desi Ghee and fold it from the edges to make a square-shaped Paratha.
  • Flip it to the other side. Dust with wheat flour and Roll it in a square shape.
  • Heat a Pan on medium flame. Put the Paratha on the Pan.
  • Once a side gets slightly cooked, we will flip it. Apply Desi ghee on both sides.
  • Keep flipping to cook both sides evenly. Cook on medium to high flame until the Palak Paratha becomes crispy.
