Spinach Parantha

I love any recipe made out of spinach; let it be simple paranthas only. It is yum yum :)

Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Spinach: 1 cup (washed and finely chopped)
Whole wheat flour: 2 cups
Gram flour (Besan): 1 tbsp
Maize flour (makki ka atta): 1 tbsp
Red chilli powder: 1 tsp
Coriander powder: 2 tsp
Turmeric powder: ½ tsp
Cumin seeds: 1 tsp
Asafetida: 1 pinch
Salt as per taste
Carom seeds (ajwain): ½ tsp
Sesame seeds: 2 tsp
Lemon juice: 1 tsp
Sugar: 1 pinch
Fennel seed powder (saunf): 1 tsp
Ginger: 1 tsp (shredded)
Green chillies: 1 (de-seeded and finely chopped)
Chat masala: 1 tsp
Water: around 2 tbsp
Ghee to make paranthas

Method:
1. Mix all ingredients except water together in a big bowl.
2. Knead nicely.
3. If it is not getting kneaded properly then add little water at a time and knead again.
4. Let it rest for half an hour.
5. After that, knead the dough again and divide into 5-6 portions.
6. Take one portion. Apply some dry flour and make a small circle of 4 inches. Apply ghee on it and fold into half. Again apply ghee and fold. So you’ll get a small triangle shape.
7. Now roll out into a big thin circle with the help of little flour.
8. Cook the parantha on a tava (griddle) using little ghee until both sides are golden brown.
9. Repeat with the remaining dough.
10. Serve hot with curd, chutneys, pickles or ketchup.

Tips:
1. Spinach tends to release water when mixed with salt, so be careful while kneading the flour.
2. You can use spinach puree instead of chopped spinach. I like using chopped spinach as this way you get to eat more spinach.

See you soon with a new recipe till then Happy Cooking!!!
