I try every trick to get my daughter to eat Spinach. Last time it was Spinach Delight( recipe here), and today it was Spinach Paratha. She liked it so much and asked me to prepare this for lunch during School as well.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- Spinach – 1/2 box ( thawed in the microwave for 2 minutes)
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Red chilli powder (use according to your taste)
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup yoghurt
- 3-4 tsp cilantro
- Salt to taste
- Oil
Method:
Grind all the ingredients from 2 to7 in a blender to a smooth paste.
See picture below.
In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, 2 tsp oil and the ground mixture. Knead well adding as much water as you need to make a soft dough.
See picture below.
Now, roll the dough into circles using a rolling pin, just like you make chapatis. Roll out the dough in a round shape, about 4-5 inches diameter.
Heat the tava(pan or skillet) on a medium to high flame. Place a roti on the pan. Add 1/4 tsp oil and spread across the roti for 2 minutes. Turn, add another 1/4 tsp oil, and cook the second side for another 2 minutes till small bubbles form.
Serve with any side dish or just plain yogurt and pickle.

Hi Kiran,
I have prepared methi paratha many times. I am not sure if it is the one done in north karnataka, but I will post it. You sure can write your recipe as well here. 🙂

Hi Harini,
I am glad you liked the chapathi. Keep the chapathis in a mosit paper towel, this should keep the chapathi soft.

Hi Meera,
Thanks for this easy and simple recipe of palak chapathis. It tried it and it came out wonderdul.
Would you know how to keep these chapathis soft even when I eat it after an hour of making it?
Thanks and Have a nice evening!
