Spinach Paratha (Palak Paratha)

Recently we have been to a neighbouring friend Krishna's place and she gave us this spinach paratha.My kids were not liking  the taste of spinach till that day but now its their favorite.

Special thanks to Krishna  for giving such a delicious recipe!!This is how we can  make the spinach paratha.

Spinach          -a hand full

Water             -3/4 cup

Wheat flour     -1 1/2 cup

Ginger             -a small piece

Garlic              -1 garlic glove

Green chilli       -1

Garam masala  -1/2 tsp

Curd                -1tbsp

Salt                  -1/2 tsp

Oil or  Ghee 
Procedure:

Keep  spinach and water in the stove and allow it to boil or till the spinach becomes tender.Blend it in a blender together with ginger,garlic and green chilli.Take the wheat flour in a big bowl.Add garam masala powder,curd,salt to this.Add the spinach puree little by little to this.Knead it well.At the end ,you can add 1/2 tsp of oil to get fluffy parathas.Keep it for 15min.

       After 15 min,knead it again for  a min.Make small balls of it .Each ball makes each paratha.Take each ball and dip it in dry wheat flour.Sprinkle some wheat flour on a dry  rough surface.Now place these balls on the surface and roll it out into a thin round using a rolling pin.Heat tawa (griddle)on medium flame.Sprinkle some water and see whether the water is evaporating quickly.If so its ready to put parathas.

Cook for 40-45 sec or till the underside have  a few brown small spots.

Turn it over and cook till some small bubbles form.Grease this side with some ghee or oil.Turn over again.With a spatula or kitchen towel lightly press the first side.Remove from fire and serve hot.
