Palak parata(Spinach parata)

I had a bunch of palak sitting in my fridge for a week..Didn't want to make dal as i cooked dal the previous day,had no time to make any curry out of it...So thought of making these paratas as they are so simple and fast !


Ingredients needed
Spinach - 1 medium bunch
Onion - 1 medium
Green chillies - 3
Salt - 1tsp
Cumin powder - 1tsp
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Garlic - 1


For Dough
Wheat flour - 6 cups


Method
Step 1 - Wash the spinach leaves nicely and
blend it into a smooth paste along with the
ingredients mentioned above.(Do not add
too much of water)

Step 2 - Now to that paste add the wheat flour and mix it well.Make a smooth ball out of it.Take little oil and knead the dough well and keep it covered for 20 minutes.


Step 3 - Divide the dough into medium golf sized balls.Take one of them,dip it in the wheat flour and roll it out evenly.
Step 4 - Place it on the hot tava.Drizzle oil around it and cook it for 2 to 3 minutes.Once you see the brown spots on it flip it onto the other side and cook it again for 3 minutes.
Spinach parata is ready to serve ! 
Serve it with plain yogurt/raita/chutney or any curry of your choice.
