Instructions
-
Begin by ensuring that the spinach is thoroughly towel dried to remove any excess moisture, as this will prevent the dough from becoming too wet.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: red chili powder, chat masala, salt, and plain flour. Mix them well to ensure even distribution of spices throughout the dough.
-
Take a lump of dough and roll it out into a circular shape, similar to that of a paratha.
-
Spread a generous amount of spinach evenly over the rolled-out dough, ensuring that it covers the entire surface.
-
Sprinkle the dry spice mixture over the spinach layer, adding a burst of flavor to every bite.
-
Carefully roll the dough into a tight Swiss roll, ensuring that the spinach and spices are securely enclosed within the layers.
-
Now, gently twist the rolled dough into a coil shape, creating a visually appealing pattern.
-
Press down lightly on the coil to flatten it slightly, then re-roll it to its original size, ensuring that the layers are compact and well-sealed.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat and place the rolled paratha on it.
-
Cook the paratha on one side until it starts to bubble and brown spots appear, then flip it over and cook the other side until golden brown.
-
Once cooked to perfection, remove the paratha from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate.
-
Serve the Spinach Parathas hot, paired with your favorite accompaniments such as yogurt, pickles, or chutneys, and enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
Variation:
For a delightful twist, you can substitute the spinach with chopped fenugreek leaves to make ‘Methi Paratha’, adding a unique flavor profile to this classic dish.
