Today I have for you all ” Palak Paratha / Spinach Paratha ” one healthy and colorful roti. Gorgeous to look, tasty to eat and one of the best travel-friendly recipes and ideal for lunch box !! One can enjoy with a choice of your side dish or even as such.

These Palak paratha are perfect to make if you are busy and have no time to make any side dish. A nice way to sneak in palak in your kiddos diet.. they not only make the roti very colourful and attractive but are healthy and tasty too.

Palak parathas are a nice variation to the regular ones. If you are bored of eating the same old roti..you must try this as they are not only easy to make but a tastes great. So easy to make by just adding some spinach puree along with some spices in wheat flour. I have earlier shared Palak poori but these are more healthy as they aren’t deep-fried. I love using palak roti for making healthy salad wrap too

Few simple points to note while making this Palak Paratha :

Instead of pureeing palak, you can even add them as finely chopped and make a dough. But they won’t turn this green.
If you want you can skip garlic while pureeing / or can add a piece of onion too for some more flavour / or add little kasoori methi / garam masala while making the dough. The choice is all yours, give it a try and see which flavour you like.
You can make it a no onion no garlic version too.
If you like stuffed paratha, to the same palak dough you can stuff some spiced crumbled paneer to make Palak Paneer Paratha.
