Palak Paratha

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1. 250gms of Spinach (palak)
2. ½ cup of Gram flour (besan)
3. 3½ cups of Plain flour
4. 2-3 cloves of Garlic
5. 2-3 Green chillies
6. 1 tsp Cumin seeds
7. 1 tsp of Carom seeds(Ajwain) and Sesame seeds (Til), each
8. Salt to taste
9. 1 tbsp Oil
10. 2 cups of Water
Procedure:
1. Grind the spinach, garlic, green chillies and the cumin seeds to a fine paste. Add a few drops of water if needed.
2.Mix the flours, the carom and sesame seeds, salt and the spinach paste to make a medium soft dough. Add some water, only if needed. The spinach paste is usually enough to soften the dough, so avoid using water.
3. After the dough is ready, put a few drops of oil on it and knead once again.
4. Now, make small dumplings of equal size to be rolled as the parathas.
5. Meanwhile, heat a skillet on medium high flame. Put the paratha on the hot skillet.
6. Let it be a bit golden brown and then turn over. Now put a few drops of oil around it and again turn over.
7. Once you see some golden brown spots on the paratha, remove it from the skillet.
8. Palak Parathas are ready, serve hot with pickle or chutney
