Spinach Dal Paratha

Spinach is one of our family favourite greens and i have always a packet of frozen spinach in my freezer, so that i can make any dish out of it. While cleaning my freezer recently i crossed some frozen spinach leaves sitting sadly in my freezer, since they were less in quantity i tried my hands in making this interesting,healthy and nutritious paratha. Yes this paratha is highly nutritious coz i used moongdal in them. I finished a quarter cup of mushy moongdal which is prepared for making sambhar finally went on into this paratha along with those frozen spinach leaves.

Actually i didnt used spinach as puree, thats y my parathas are not looking green, while kneading i just added both the frozen spinach leaves and mushy moongdal together in the wheat flour to get a smooth dough. Personally i loved the softness of these parathas and we loved having this with an incredible salna i prepared with butterbeans.Check here for the butter beans salna, both tastes fabulous together and we had a superfilling dinner.Its 2nd sunday of the month and since i belong to a group of friends who blogs on sunday for the event Let's Brunch On Sundays am posting this fantastic soft parathas.

2cups Wheat flour
1/2cup Frozen spinach leaves (thawed)
1/4cup Cooked moongdal
1tsp Ajwain seeds
Salt
Warm water
Oil for cooking

Take the flour,cooked dal and thawed spinach leaves in a bowl, add the ajwain seeds and salt to it.

With enough water,knead everything as a soft and stiff dough, keep aside for half an hour.

Make 8-10 medium sized balls from the dough, dust rolled balls with enough flour and roll as parathas.

Heat a tawa, drop gently the flattened discs,drizzle the oil and cook on both sides until the paratha gets well cooked..

Serve hot with spicy side dish or kurma.
