Ingredients

1-1/2 cups Whole wheat flour
1/4 cup Chickpea flour (Besan)
3/4 cup potatoes boiled and grated
1 cup spinach/palak or any other finely chopped (make sure that the spinach is washed & completely dried otherwise your dough will turn sticky)
1/4 cup grated carrots
2 tsp finely chopped green chillies
4 tablespoons fresh curds yogurt
2 teaspoons oil
salt to taste

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients (including the oil) and knead into a soft dough - If you find the dough a bit sticky, dust some extra flour to make it smooth. Keep dough aside for 10minutes
Divide into 8 equal portions and roll into round parathas or you can use a cookie cutter & cut into interesting shapes. Keep them a little thicker than chapathis
Heat a tawa and place the paratha on it & cook on slow flame till it is golden brown on both sides
To make the parathas soft, always fry on slow heat & brush with a little oil or ghee.
Serve hot - they are delicious when eaten plain, with cheese spread, mayonnaise or the authentic way - with pickle or fresh curd.
