Ingredients For Palak Paneer Ka Paratha
1 cup spinach chopped and blanched
1 green chilli chopped
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1½ cup aata (whole wheat flour)
For the stuffing
200 grams paneer grated

Directions For Palak Paneer Ka Paratha
- Puree the spinach along with the chilli to a paste.
- In a large bowl add aata, salt, spinach pure and mix.
- Add water as required to make soft dough. Knead the dough well, apply ¼ teaspoon ghee and rest for 20 minutes.
- Now mix all the ingredients for the stuffing. Check the seasoning and adjust to your taste. I prefer the spice to be a little on the higher side.
- Divide dough into 4-6 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into thick circle; place a large portion of stuffing mixture at the center of each circle and bring the sides of the circle towards the center to enclose the filling completely.
- Gently press with your palm and dust it with wheat flour.
- Roll it gently to make a paratha of desired size and thickness.
- Heat the tava or a skillet on medium heat; place the rolled paratha gently on it. Cook on both sides, using little oil or ghee till the parathas are golden brown.
- Similarly make all the parathas.
