Instructions
Preparation
- Rinse really well and then chop the palak/spinach leaves roughly.
- Heat through 1 or 1.5 cups water in a pan. Just heat the water till it comes to a gentle boil.
- Add the palak or spinach leaves and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes on low to medium-low heat.
- Using a strainer or colander drain the spinach. Let the leaves cool.
- Puree the palak/spinach with a hand blender or in an electric blender or mixer-grinder.
- Boil or steam the potatoes till they are completely cooked and fork tender.
- When they are still warm, peel and then mash them. Set aside.
Making aloo palak paratha
- In a bowl or large plate, add all the mashed potatoes, spinach puree, spices, salt, whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of oil.
- Begin to knead to a smooth and pliable dough.
- You may not require adding water while kneading the dough.
- But if the dough looks dry and needs water, then add very less water knead to a smooth dough.
- Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes. Cover the dough and set aside.
- Make medium sized balls from the dough and roll into 5 to 6 round parathas.
- Fry the paratha on a hot tawa or griddle with a few teaspoons of oil or ghee till brown spots appear on both sides and they are cooked.
- Serve Aloo Palak Paratha hot with a pickle of your choice or curd (yogurt) or butter.
Notes
- If the dough looks dry, then add very little water and knead. If the dough becomes sticky, then add some more flour and knead.
- If you use yogurt, you may not need to add any water while kneading.
- To add a little bit of spice and heat in the parathas, you can even add chopped green chilies or green chili paste to the dough.
- I have blanched the spinach and then pureed them. This helps in reducing their metallic flavor. But if you prefer, you can puree them straightaway without blanching.
