Palak Paratha Roll – Spinach Flatbread Recipe

Palak Paratha Roll

Most of the Indian breakfast or quick fix meals tend towards making a paratha. In addition to be a quick fix, a stuffed paratha also becomes a complete meal. A stuffed paratha is always filled with healthy veggies or meat. Veggies like Potatoes, cauliflower, green peas cabbage, onions etc.

In Gujarat, more than parathas being stuffed various forms of veggies are grated and mixed into the dough so they are cooked while the paratha is being cooked. These are called theplas, a very common food for breakfasts and snacks or a combination with some other veggies. Some examples over here again are methi&palak.

What I am writing today is one such quick fix called Palak Paratha but it is more of a thepla.

As mentioned in my other article, palak / Spinach is a super food and with this paratha you ensure that the super food whether liked or not liked is going into the system of your family.

Heat up a tava

Notes

This paratha is good on its own, so just roll it up and bite. One could roll a roasted papad broken into pieces inside it. You could have a mango pickle or amango chutney as a side. It’s the best when paired with a chai.
