Onion and Palak Parantha

My husband is sure ‘Popeye – the sailor man’ when it comes to spinach. He just loves it. He keeps asking me to make some dish with spinach. I was too tired of making palak dal and saute  So this time I tried a little mix and match. Besides, I have vivid memories of mom making palak, methi paranthas during the winter season in my childhood.

Try out this beautiful and healthy recipe and you’ll love it.

Ingredients

Palak/ Spinach – 2 Cups, finely chopped

Onion – ¾ Cup, finely chopped

Mint Leaves – 1 tbsp., chopped

Garlic – 2 pods, finely chopped

Green Chilies – 4, finely chopped

Chat Masala – ½ tsp.

Wheat Flour – 2 Cups

Salt – to taste

Water – ¾ cup or enough to knead the dough

Oil – 1 tbsp. and more for frying the paranthas

Yield – 10 – 12 paranthas

Method

1. In a big bowl, mix all the ingredients properly (except water and flour).

2. Now add the wheat flour and add water in small amounts until a dough is formed.

3. Divide the dough in to equal sized balls.

4. Dust each ball with some wheat flour and roll it out in to flat round roti.

5. Take a pan, once it gets heated, place the roti on it.

6. Once the bottom part gets baked a little, put a few drops of oil on the top part, spread it and turn over.
