Рецепт Palak Paratha | Spinach Paratha
One good thing about making parathas frequently is that you can add any veg stuffing to it. For those who are not that into veggies can have them filled in these flat breads. Today's recipe is a greens stuffed paratha - Palak Paratha - Sautéed spinach with few Indian masala. A mild and warm tasting parathas that make a healthy and nutritious meal.
Since palak has a neutral taste, you would not find a distinctive aroma like a methi paratha. Also, if you want a nice flaky crispy paratha, make it into layers and add a little more oil while cooking it. Otherwise it is a nice soft puffed up paratha that is equally tastier. So once in a while extra fat would also be good. The more the fat, the more merrier crispy it would be.
