Ingredients

  • 6 oz Spinach or 2 bunches
  • 2 cup Whole wheat flour plus more to dust
  • 3 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 tsp Red chili powder adjust to taste. Cayenne can be used instead
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 2 tsp Lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ginger garlic paste
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as required as required to knead

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.
