Palak Paratha



Ingredients:-

1. 1 Cup Palak / Spinach ( Chopped )
2. 1 Cup Wheat flour ( as required )
3. 1/2 tbsp Red Chili powder (as required )
4. 1/4 tbsp Cumin powder
5. 1/4 tbsp Coriander powder
6. 1/4 tbsp Garam masala
7. Salt ( to taste )
8. 1 tbsp oil 
9. Ghee (  to apply on the parathas)
10. 1/4 tbsp Ajwain / carom seeds

Method:-

1. Take the chopped spinach in a  large bowl. To it add all the dry ingredients except wheat flour 
    and 1/2 tbsp oil.

2. Mix well. Start adding wheat flour little at a time to knead into a soft dough. Apply some oil and    
    knead well. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes ( covered ).

3. Heat a griddle / tava on medium high heat.
4. Make small equal size balls out of the dough prepared.

5. With a rolling pin, roll one ball on the platform into a medium sized circle / tortilla. Dust 
    some wheat flour if required to make sure that it does not stick.

6. Put this paratha on the griddle / tava. When you see the color has changed a little and some small 
    bubbles, flip the paratha to the other side. Spread some ghee while pressing the paratha slightly 
    with the help of a spatula / ladle ( to make sure it cooks evenly ).
7. Flip the paratha and repeat the process.You  will see light brown spots on it. Remove the paratha 
    from the griddle / tava once it is cooked from both the sides. 

8. Repeat the same process for the rest of the dough.

9. Serve hot with pickle / chutney.

Enjoy!!!
