For making 4-5 parathas

Ingredients

1 and half cup wheat flour

1 bundle of roughly chopped spinach

3-4 petals of garlic

4 green chilies

1/2 tsp carom seeds

2 tsp yogurt

pinch of asafoetida

1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp cumin powder

oil as needed

salt to taste

Procedure

• Heat 2 tsp oil in a pan. Add green chilies, chopped garlic, and pinch of asafoetida. Saute for few seconds. Add chopped onion and saute till onion becomes translucent. Add turmeric powder and salt to taste. Add chopped spinach and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Keep stirring in between. Let it cool down and make a smooth puree by adding yogurt and little water.
• Take wheat flour in a mixing bowl. Add carom seeds. Start kneading the dough by adding little spinach puree at a time. Consistency of dough should be soft like regular chapati dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
• Make medium sized balls and roll them like a chapati. Roast them from both the sides by applying oil or ghee. Serve hot with pickle, any chutney or tomato ketchup.
