that they mix well. Blend it till it forms a paste.

Knead it by adding warm water (if required) and prepare a dough. By mixing Spinach in the form of Paste with the Flour imparts the lovely green color.
- Let the dough set for about an hour.
- Make 10 balls of the same size from it.
- Roll them into round Parathas (little thicker than chapati) with a
rolling pin.
- Put these Parathas on the preheated pan and roast them by applying
oil/butter on both sides.
Serve these 'Green Palak Parathas' with Red Tomato Chutney/ Pickle/ Curd.
Note: To make 'Green Palak Pooris' use the same method to make a dough,
prepare small balls, roll them and then deep fry in oil. Happy Cooking.
