Ingredients

Procedure for making Palak Parantha

  1. Put flour, chopped spinach, salt, red chili powder, carom seeds and 1 tablespoon ghee in a deep wide bowl.
  2. Use little water to knead the dough as spinach has enough moisture itself. Using too much water might soften the dough too much.
  3. Make 4 balls of dough, take a ball and dust it in dry flour.
  4. Roll it with the help of a rolling pin into a circle.
  5. Put griddle or tawa on medium heat and grease it will a little ghee.
  6. Once the tawa heats up, carefully put the paratha on it.
  7. Cook from one side and flip it to cook from other side too.
  8. Put ghee or oil and roast the parantha till brown spots can be seen on both surfaces.
  9. When done, transfer to a serving plate and serve hot.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 2

Cook’s Tips:

  1. Clean and wash the spinach thoroughly before cutting.
  2. Knead the dough just 5 – 10 minutes before making parantha otherwise the dough might become very soft thus making it difficult to roll.
