            Palak paratha is one of the healthiest and easiest way to add spinach into diet. This recipe is spicy and easy to make especially in the morning when we have less time.This recipe is suitable for lunch box and kids will like it most when had it as roll with butter or cheese inside.




 Ingredients:-


Keerai/Spinach 1 bunch
Wheat flour 4 cups
Chilli powder 2 teaspoon
Garam masala powder 1 teaspoon
Salt as needed
water as needed
Jeera 1 teaspoon1.
Oil 2 teaspoon 



Cooking Instructions:-

               1. Boil little water in a pan. Add spinach to boiling  water and remove when it is

cooked well.

               2. Now grind the spinach with garam masala powder, redchilli powder in 

blender into smooth paste.

               3. Add wheat flour, salt, jeera, spinach paste, oil, water and make dough as we 

make for chapathi. 

               4.  Divide the dough into equal parts and roll it like chapathi by dusting with 

flour.

               5. Heat a pan and cook rolled paratha by adding little oil or butter in medium 

flame.

paste and make paratha following the same method.
