Instructions
For Spinach paste
Clean and wash Spinach bunches. If using triple washed Spinach then proceed to the next step.
Heat a large pot and add the cleaned spinach leaves. Cook the leaves until wilted.
Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once cooled, using a food processors/ blender, obtain a smooth paste.
Making the dough
To the food processor (with Spinach paste) add the remaining ingredients (flour, spices, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice and 1 tbsp oil)
Mix the ingredients well. The water from the paste is sufficient to bind the dough. If not add water.
Once the dough is ready, let it rest for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, divide the dough into 10 – 12 equal sized round balls.
Take one ball at a time and with a rolling pin, roll out round circles. Use flour for dusting if required.
Heat a flat griddle/ pan (or ‘Tawa’ in Hindi) and carefully put the rolled out circle on it.
Brush oil on the top.
Flip the circle after 1/2 minute. Brush oil on the top. Flip again. Brown spots indicate the bread (‘roti’) is well cooked. Remove from pan.
Repeat for the remaining dough balls.
Serve hot Parathas with yoghurt, salsa, lentils, curry, chutney or pickle.
