10 ounce fresh spinach (washed, blanched, and finely chopped; about 1/2 cup blanched spinach)

6 ounce Paneer

1 small onion (finely chopped)

1 inch ginger (grated or finely chopped)

1-2 green chilies (finely chopped; adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin powder

1/2 teaspoon amchur powder

1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala

Salt to taste

oil or ghee, as needed for cooking paratha

2 cups whole wheat flour

Water (as needed)

Salt to taste

1 teaspoon oil

Upute

For the paratha dough, in a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, salt, and enough water to form a soft and smooth dough. Apply some oil, cover and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

While the dough is resting, prepare the stuffing for the paratha. Blanch the spinach: Briefly submerge washed spinach leaves in boiling water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Quickly transfer them to an ice water bath to retain their vibrant color and stop the cooking process, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Finely chop the spinach leaves and set aside.

In a another mixing bowl, combine the crumbled or grated paneer, chopped onion, grated ginger, chopped green chilies, cumin powder, amchur powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.

Add the blanched and chopped spinach to the paneer mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion of mixture into a ball, and set aside.

Knead the dough for a few minutes and then divide it into 6 equal portions, and roll each dough portion into a ball.

Now take one dough ball, and roll it into a small disc using a rolling pin. Place a ball of paneer-spinach mixture in the center of the disc.

Bring the edges of the disc together, covering the stuffing, and pinch to seal.

Roll the stuffed ball into a flat, round paratha using a rolling pin. Make sure the stuffing is evenly distributed.

Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot surface.

Cook each side of the paratha with a little oil or ghee until golden brown spots appear.

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls. This recipe yields about 6 palak paneer paratha.

Serve hot Palak Paneer Parathas with yogurt, pickle, or any chutney of your choice. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious parathas!
