Palak/Spinach Paratha



Paratha recipes are specially for my dear little sister. Because with her busy schedule she prefers to roll parathas in the morning for breakfast as well as lunch :). Though she may not agree having potatoes under the pretext of having healthy spinach i like it that way. So here is the recipe dear sis:

Ingredients:

15-20 spinach leaves.
1 tea cup Wheat flour
a pinch of salt

2 medium sized potatoes
1 medium size onion
1/4 spoon cumin powder
2-3 strings of mint leaves
1/2 spoon green chilly and garlic paste.
salt to taste.
Ghee.


Method:


1) Wash the spinach leaves throughly and chop finely.
2) Knead the wheat flour by adding these chop spinach, salt and a little water.
While adding water make sure that you add a little at a time because the washed spinach already contains water and hence you may not need to add as much water as you would need while kneading the plain dough. Knead it well till the dough becomes soft.
3) Now next we will prepare the stuffing. Boil the potatoes, peel them and smash.
4) Add chopped onions, chopped mint leaves, cumin powder, salt, green chilly and garlic paste. Mix well and divide the entire mixture in 6 equal size balls.
5) Also divide the dough its equal sized balls.
6) Now take one part dough and one part potato mixture. Start rolling out chapati from the dough (about 10 cm in diameter) and place the potato ball in the center. Fold in the side of the chapati as if the potato ball is wrapped in the chapati and start preparing the chapati again. Now we will call it paratha. :)
7) Now heat a tawa with little oil and place the paratha on it. Cook on both side on medium flame and after cooked apply ghee.
8) Serve hot with tomato sauce.
