In this recipe, I take a bowl and mix Whole wheat flour/atta, spinach, onion, green chili, coriander, cumin seed powder, carom seeds, crushed peppercorn, salt, and oil. Knead a soft dough using water. After it rests for a while, I divide the dough into small portions and roll it into a thick circle like a simple paratha recipe and then straight into tawa for roasting it on both sides. Here is the video recipe.

This Spinach Paratha doesn’t include any stuffing masala. It is similar to the Gujarati Methi Thepla recipe. It is a smart way to include green leafy spinach in our diet, where we preserve all nutrients.

You can always find spinach leaves in my pantry during winters. They are very fresh, inexpensive, and readily available in markets. I also sometimes make Palak Bhaji, Palak Paneer, and Daal Palak recipes from spinach leaves.
