Ingredients
For the Dough
- 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour Atta
- 2 tbsp Spinach Finely chopped or pureed - see Quick Swap
- 1/4 teaspoon Cumin Seeds Optional
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tbsp Water Approximately - spinach adds moisture, so use less than usual
For Cooking
- 1 teaspoon Ghee Or oil, for roasting
Instructions
Preparing the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour, spinach, cumin seeds and salt in a bowl. Add water gradually - spinach releases some moisture, so you may need less water than usual.
- Knead into a soft dough. Cover and rest for 10 minutes. Divide into 2 equal portions.
Making the Parathas
- Roll each portion into a thin to medium circle, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Heat a tawa on medium heat. Cook the paratha, flipping and spreading a little ghee on both sides, until golden brown spots appear on each side. Repeat for the second paratha.
Packing
- Let the parathas cool slightly. Pack with curd in a separate small container and fruit on the side.
Recipe Notes
Tiffin Pairing
Curd and a piece of fruit balance the earthy flavour of the spinach paratha.Make-Ahead Tip
Puree or finely chop the spinach the night before and store it covered in the fridge - the dough itself is best kneaded fresh.Quick Swap
Use grated bottle gourd or grated carrot instead of spinach if your child prefers a milder flavour or if spinach isn't available.Allergen Note
Contains wheat/gluten (whole wheat flour).Packing Tip
This paratha stays naturally soft thanks to the spinach and is easy to eat even after a few hours - no special handling needed beyond the usual cooling before packing.Related Posts You May Like
