Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup wheat flour

  • 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

  1. Wash spinach and drain completely.

  3. Add the puree to the flour along with salt and spice powders.
  4. Knead together to make a dough.
  5. If the dough turns sticky, just sprinkle more flour & knead to a non sticky dough.
  6. If the dough turns too dry then, sprinkle water & knead.
  7. Add little oil and knead well to make a soft pliable dough.
  8. Set this aside for 20 to 30 minutes. Make 8 equal sized balls. Cover them.
  9. Flour the rolling area and flatten a ball. Sprinkle flour.
  10. Roll it to make slightly thick palak paratha.
  11. Sprinkle flour over the paratha as needed to prevent sticking. It has to be slightly thicker than roti.
  12. Heat a tawa until hot enough. Transfer a paratha to the tawa.
  13. When the paratha begins to get bubbles over it.
  14. Flip it to the other side. Gently press down the paratha with a spatula to puff it. Cook until golden spots appear.
  15. Once done smear little ghee.
  16. Place a kitchen tissue on a plate. Stack the palak parathas to keep them soft.
