Spinach Paratha

Ingredients:

Servings: 8-9 parathas

Spinach-3 cups
Whole wheat flour-3 cups
Oil-1 tbsp
Ajwain-1 tsp
Salt-1 tsp
Green chillies-4
Water-1 cup
Turmeric-1/2 tsp
Garlic-2
Ghee-for cooking parathas
Corriander leaves/Mint leaves/Basil (optional)-1/4 cup

Method:


1. Wash spinach and keep aside.
2. Heat a pan and add spinach and/or any others greens that you would like and cook till soft and all the water is evaporated. Let it cool down.
3. In a big bowl, add flour, salt, chopped garlic and green chillies, turmeric, ajwain and oil. Mix well.
4. Now add cooked spinach and enough water to make into a fine dough. Do not add all the water once. Mix dough while adding water.
5. Knead the dough properly and keep it aside.
6. Now take tennis ball sized portion of dough and roll it on a board/granite into 1/4-1/2 inch thickness. If you like the paratha to be flaky, roll the dough slightly, spread with ghee and flour it. Half it and spread ghee and flour again. Now shape it into a triangle and roll it out.
7. Heat the tawa and keep it on a small to medium flame. Roast the paratha on one side. Turn and apply ghee according to taste. Turn it around and apply ghee on other side. Cook till brown spots appear.
8. Enjoy with pickle and yogurt or any sabzi you like!
