Spinach must certainly be the king of all leafy vegetables. I will agree because I love it. However not many people (especially children) like to have it. One smart idea to make them eat it is to feed it in such morphed forms like poori and paranthas. Tummy khush and mummy khush!
Ingredients:
- Spinach leaves- fresh and chopped
- Green chillies- chopped
- Wheat flour
- Oil to fry the pooris
- Cumin seeds
- Salt as required.
Preparation:
- Grind the spinach leaves, green chillies and cumin seeds into a fine paste. Try to avoid water because the we don’t the pooris to break!
- Mix this with wheat flour into a smooth dough till the kneader/hand is free of any flour.
- Keep this aside for 5-10 min till the oil gets hot.
- Break the dough into several round balls and flatten them till they are like some tortilla.
- Fry these in the oil and serve with curd/yogurt.
- These taste good with tomato ketchup too!
If you want to avoid oil, you can make palak rotis by directly heating the flattened dough ball on the stove instead of frying it. Tastes amazing.
