Palak Paratha or Spinach Roti is a healthy unleavened Indian Flatbread. We make it with whole wheat flour and spinach puree spiced with spices. This spinach Paratha is a healthy option you can feed your family.
These Spinach Parathas are not exactly stuffed parathas. It has spinach puree mixed into the wheat flour along with spices. These Indian Flatbread are colourful, healthy and are quite easy to make. On top, you have some beautiful green coloured parathas as well.
I made it for dinner and everybody enjoyed it. So I planned on making it for breakfast as well. With this Spinach Paratha, you have a delicious stuffed paratha, for your breakfast and a quick dinner idea as well!
I featured this as part of BM#49 under Indian Bread Baskets.
Palak refers to Spinach in Hindi, while paratha refers to the unleavened Indian Flatbread cooked on a griddle or tawa. I try to include palak in different ways in our menu.
This blended healthy dough makes it easy to roll and cook the rotis as well. I have made stuffed parathas as well like this Stuffed Aloo Palak Paratha, and pooris like this popular Indor Indori Palak Ki Puri, I have made this version of spinach puri with my homegrown spinach leaves.
My family's most favorite way of enjoy spinach is this Palak Paneer.
