Instructions
 

Prepare the Spinach Filling

  • Blanch the chopped spinach in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain well and allow to cool slightly. Puree the spinach with ginger and green chilies in a blender until smooth.

Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, garam masala, amchoor powder, and red chili powder. Gradually add the spinach puree and enough water to form a soft, pliable dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

Assemble and Cook the Parathas

  • Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 6 inches in diameter). Spread a small amount of butter or ghee on half of each circle. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and red chili powder (optional). Fold the other half over to create a semi-circle. Gently press the edges to seal. Roll this semi-circle again into a slightly thinner, oblong shape.

Cook on the Tawa

  • Heat a tawa or griddle over medium heat. Cook the parathas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add a little oil or ghee to the pan during cooking to ensure even cooking and crispness. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Serve

  • Serve the Palak Parathas hot with your favorite pickle, yogurt, or chutney.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Palak Parathas

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of roasted cumin powder to the dough.
  • If your dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Don't roll the parathas too thin; they might break easily.
  • For extra crispy parathas, cook them on medium-low heat for a longer time.
