    These palak parathas or spinach flatbread are a delicious and healthy paratha recipe. They are nutritious too and a kid-approved recipe.

    They make for a wonderful breakfast or light meal when accompanied with dal and pickled beetroots (for the added acidity and iron) and make a full meal of it.

    This paratha is also a great source of iron as it is rich in spinach. Many kids don't like the flavour of greens. This is a nice way to incorporate greens in their diet.

    • Take the flour, add the blended spinach dill paste, add in garam masala along with salt and knead a soft dough.
    • Cover and keep for 15 minutes.
    • To make the parathas take a small ball of the dough
    • Roll it out thin to paratha width.
    • Fry on a hot griddle on both sides using a little oil.
    • Your spinach paratha is ready to serve. Serve hot with chutney, pickle and curry, dal or curd. Enjoy.

    Notes

    You can use a combination of greens eg. spinach, fenugreek and other greens if yo so like.
    Dill gives it a nice flavour so it is good to include it.
    Adjust the chillies to your taste. Skip ginger or garlic as per taste.
    Serve with pickled beetroots to add even more iron to the meal. It tastes good too.
    This tastes good even when cold so you can safely pack it in your kids' tiffin boxes. They will love its taste and colour.

      I love spinach parathas, but Dill makes me instantly drowsy! Have made it in many ways, but the effect is the same. The same for my husband as well, so we stay away from it. But spinach parathas are way too delicious and almost takes no effort to make.

        I love dill. I put it in so many foods. 🙂 But you can easily skip it if you don't like it.

        I am sure she will love it. The kids when they were toddlers loved these colourful parathas.

      Love parathas and so does Gy! We order aloo or pudina or paneer ones when we go out. I make methi wala at home quite regularly. Not tried dill. Fortunately, she loves greens anyway so getting her to eat these won’t be a problem ?

        We love parathas at home. I make aloo, gobhi, mooli, methi, palak, cabbage and capsicum, pyaaz and so many other parathas at home. I used just a little dill in this paratha for flavour since we love it, but it can be skipped if you don't like it. This is simple and looks quite nice too. 🙂

      That does look like easy to do and tasty, too! Thank you for the recipe, Rachna..
      Could you share the recipe of the pickled beetroots? I love beetroots and use it in every way I can – sabji, soup, juice, salad..

      Oh how much I long for a paratha … This looks so good. I have never used dill in my cooking. Mainly because I don’t know how to. I guess i can try this recipe without any disaster.
