salt to taste
1/4 tsp baking powder (opt)
1/2 tsp. amchur powder
1 bunch spinach leaves, chopped and blanched
1 inch ginger, chopped
2 green chilies
oil to shallow fry

Instructions

Blend spinach leaves, ginger and green chilies with very little water to form smooth puree. Keep it aside.
In a bowl, mix together atta, salt, baking soda, garam masala powder and amchur. Add the spinach puree and knead into a stiff dough with required quantity of water.
Add 1/2 tsp. oil and knead for another minute and keep it aside to rest for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into equal portions.
Roll out each portion into a round circle. Drizzle some oil and sprinkle some flour over it. Carefully fold it back and forth. Stretch it slightly and fold it like a Swiss roll.
Dust some flour and roll it into a circle. Do the same with the rest of the dough. Heat a tawa / griddle and cook parathas on both sides until golden brown by drizzling some oil over it and along the edges.
Serve them hot with any side dish, raita, yogurt, butter or pickle.
