I always liked the green colored rotis/parathas. I had seen them in one of my friend’s lunch box. Recently I tried to make them(though the procedure and taste was completely different), they were delicious. I served it with Masala Dahi.
Ingredients:
Wheat Flour 2 cup
Palak(Spinach) leaves 1 Cup
Ginger 1″ piece
Green Chillies chopped 5 Nos
Corriander leaves 1/2 cup
Jeera 2 tsp
Salt
Method:
Mix all the ingredients(except flour) and blend it in a mixer to a fine paste. Mix this mixture with the wheat flour and oil, knead till the dough is smooth and soft.
Make medium size balls of the dough, roll it. Fry paratha on tava, apply ghee on both sides.
Serve hot.
Serves : 5
Preparation time : 20min
Green parathas are good for health
Looks beautiful
Wishing you and your family a very Happy Ugadi,Shilpa!
I regularly prepare green parathas but havent served with masala dahi.Will try it next time round.

Thanks for the wishes.
Wish you all a very very happy Yugadi.
Hi…I tried this yesterday and I enjoyed making something different using palak other than dal palak, palak paneer or alu palak. Thanks for sharing it. It tasted like heaven – I added some ghee on top. I made chole to go along and not the masala curd. We had a typical punjabi lunch with lassi to end the meal! 🙂
Thanks Vasundhara for the comment.
Wow…paratha, chole & lassi…thats great. I wish I was there at your place for lunch :).
hey me too like the green color.thnx for the method
Hi Shilpa
I dont know suddenly last tuesday, i decided to make this paratha, as it is a fasting day for us . I used a little less of mint leaves. Used dhania jeera powder and little dahi in the flour. It tasted great.
Hi ,
Nice recipe . i used to make palak parathas but adding coriander to it is a good idea . my 2 year old loves it …
thanks
honey
its a good idea to blanch the palak…as recently there was a threat of e-coli.
while doing so we may add bit of onion to it.grind everything.use very little water for kneading.same dough can be used to make palak puris
Hi Shilpa,
Its a great recipe u shared. I liked it so much that now every weekend we have this parathas n also its easy n simple methods makes it taste great.
Thanks for the recipe.

Dear shilpa,
Palak should be pressure cooked or not..pls clarify..my mom always used to do after pressure cooking the palak..
Hello Shilpa !
I often browse various blogs to find new recepies, today I happened to visit ur site. Must say great work.

Hi,
I wanted to know about this particular green paratha if it can be stored for a couple of days.
Just like the gujarati Theplas which can be stored for 5-6 days at a stretch.
Regards,
Leona
Shilpa: You can freeze them to keep them to store for longer time.
These days even i m trying for coloured parathas, il try to do green chapathi with peas nd next time with spinach. This looks wonderfull.
hi,
ur site is fabulus.wud like to tell u something.u can make orange parata d same way.Instead of palak,put boiled carrot with jaggery to add taste.
I really liked ur site…. will try this for my hubby lunch box.. He may eat palak like this…. otherwise he does not touch palak…..
