Blanch and Puree (optional):

• Boil water in a vessel, add spinach leaves, and blanch for 2-3 minutes.

• Let it stay in cold water for a while. Remove it from this, put the palak in the mixer, and make a puree.

Prepare the dough:

• Add spinach puree to it and knead the dough well. If needed, add some water. Knead it into a soft dough.

• Apply 1 teaspoon oil on the kneaded dough and cover it with a wet cloth for 20-30 minutes.

• To make parathas, make equal-sized balls of the dough.

• Take a ball of dough and flatten it a little. Sprinkle dry flour on it and roll it into a round paratha shape with the help of a rolling pin.

• Heat the pan on a medium-high flame.

• Place the rolled paratha on the hot pan. Cook the paratha for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start appearing on the surface.

• Flip the paratha and apply a little oil on the sides and top of the paratha.
