Ingredients

To temper:

  • 1 teaspoon jeera
  • ½ teaspoon ajwain seeds / omam
  • 1 green chilli
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Instructions

  • 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 shrink, 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 favorite side dish.
  • These are mildly spicy making it perfect for kids...You can also serve with home made white butter .

Notes

  • Ajwain seeds adds a very nice flavor 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 powdered too.
  • You can try the same recipe with any other greens too.
