Ingredients
- 1.5 cup wheat flour
- 1.5 cup spinach
- 0.5 inch ginger
- 0.25 tsp garam masala
- 1 green chili
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp ghee
Steps
- Wash spinach and drain completely.
- Add them to a blender with chili, ginger or garlic and make a fine puree with the help of 1 to 2 tbsp water. Use water only if needed.
- Add the puree to the flour along with salt and spice powders.
- Knead together to make a dough.
- If the dough turns sticky, just sprinkle more flour & knead to a non sticky dough.
- If the dough turns too dry then, sprinkle water & knead.
- Add little oil and knead well to make a soft pliable dough.
- Set this aside for 20 to 30 minutes. Make 8 equal sized balls. Cover them.
- Flour the rolling area and flatten a ball. Sprinkle flour.
- Roll it to make slightly thick palak paratha.
- Sprinkle flour over the paratha as needed to prevent sticking. It has to be slightly thicker than roti.
- Heat a tawa until hot enough. Transfer a paratha to the tawa.
- When the paratha begins to get bubbles over it.
- Flip it to the other side. Gently press down the paratha with a spatula to puff it. Cook until golden spots appear.
- Once done smear little ghee.
- Place a kitchen tissue on a plate. Stack the palak parathas to keep them soft.
- Serve palak paratha with chutney, dal or curry. Or use them to wrap as rolls with veggie or egg fillings.
