• ▢ 1.5 cup Wheat flour
• ▢ 150 grams Spinach/Palak
• ▢ 200 grams Paneer
• ▢ 1 Onion Finely Chopped
• ▢ 1 teaspoon Ginger Grated
• ▢ 1 teaspoon Green chillies Finely Chopped (Optional)
• ▢ 1/3 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder Optional – to taste
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon Coriander Powder
• ▢ 1/3 teaspoon Roasted cumin powder
• ▢ 1 teaspoon Salt As per taste
• ▢ 3 tablespoon Oil

Instructions

 

• ▢
  First of all, take enough water in a pan and bring it to boil. Add spinach leaves in it and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Switch off the heat and immediately drain the water using colander and add drained spinach in ice cold water.
• ▢
  Take the spinach out, and grind it to a smooth purée.
  
• ▢
  In a mixing bowl, take wheat flour and add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add spinach purée to this and make a soft dough. Keep aside for 5 minutes.
  
• ▢
  In an another mixing bowl, either crumble the paneer with your hands or you can grate it with grater or food processor.
  
• ▢
  Add chopped green chillies, Grated Ginger and rest of all spices and mix well. Our stuffing is ready
  
• ▢
  Now divide the dough into 6 equal parts and make round balls of it. Take one ball, and with the help of dry wheat flour, roll it into a small circle with a rolling pin.Now place 2 tablespoon of paneer stuffing and gather all the ends and seal it.
  
• ▢
  Roll it again into a circle of 6-7 inch diameter.
  
• ▢
  Heat a Skillet/tava on medium heat and place the rolled paratha on it. Flip it after one minute and then apply Oil/butter on top side. Flip it again and apply Oil this side too. Cook it till the paratha gets nice golden colour on both the sides.
  
• ▢
  Serve hot and enjoy 🙂
  

Notes

1) You can make these paratha with 2 other different ways:

• Either finely chopping the raw spinach and adding it to the wheat flour while making dough;
• Or adding the raw chopped spinach directly to stuffing.

2) Don’t over cook the spinach otherwise it will turn dark.
