PALAK (SPINACH) PARANTHA

IMG_0155

The best way to give green leafy vegetable to kids is to hide them in some recipe.  My little angle won’t have methi, palak, batua or sarson sabzi.  So, I started adding it to the dough and she would simply love it.  She can go on having any green parantha and calls all green paranthas as methi parantha.   I am very happy since she started have these green leafy vegetable in some form.

INGREDIENTS
Wheat Flour 1 cup
Palak Greens 1 bunch
Garam Masala 1/4 – 1/2 tsp
Turmeric Powder 1/4 tsp
Coriander leaves Fist full
Jeera 1 tsp
Ajwain 3/4 tsp
Green Chilli 1
Oil 1 tsp
Salt To taste

 

METHOD

  • The best way to retain the nutrients of all vegetable is to steam them… more so for green leafy vegies. 
  • Take out the leaves with little tender stems (leaving all thick stems) and steam them preferably in a steamer till they shrink.
  • Let it cool and grind it along with jeera, ajwain, green chilli and coriander leaves to a smooth paste.
  • In a mixing bowl add wheat flour, palak puree, turmeric, garam masala, salt and knead it into a dough.
  • Fry it on chappati tawa with ghee and serve hot with raita, green chutney or any vegetable of your choice.
