Wheat flour - 1 cup
Palak greens - 3/4 cup chopped
Garam masala powder - 1/4 to 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Coriander leaves - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste
To temper:
Jeera - 1 tspAjwain seeds (Omam) - 1/2 tsp
Green Chilli - 1
Oil - 1 tsp
Method:
- Heat oil in a pan - add the items under 'to temper' allow it to crackle. Then add palak greens and saute till it shrinks in volume.
- Once the greens shrinks,switch off and add coriander leaves and switch it off. Cool down the mixture and grind it to a fine paste. In a mixing bowl add wheat flour,, greens paste, turmeric powder , garam masala powder and required salt.
- Add required water little by little and knead it to a soft dough.Then divide the dough into equal lemon sized balls. Flour the surface and take one ball and flatten it.
- Then start rolling it gently to a thin paratha(as there is no stuffing I made it into thin parathas).Heat a dosa tawa , transfer the parathas, drizzle little oil and cook till brown spots appear then turn over to other side and cook. Serve hot with raita / dal or your favourite sidedish
My Notes:
- Ajwain seeds adds a very nice flavour to the parathas.
- You can even toast the parathas using ghee when we make it for kids.
- Enjoy it hot with raita or just curd.
- You can even roast jeera and ajwain and add it as powdered.
- You can try the same recipe for any other greens too.
