Instructions
Prepare the Spinach Paratha Dough

Rest and Roll the Dough

Cook the Parathas

Make the Salsa

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Parathas
- For extra flavor, use a combination of fresh and dried herbs in the paratha dough.
- If your dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water or milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the parathas. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
- For a spicier salsa, add more green chilies or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
