Healthy breakfast with Palak Paratha and Mirchicha thecha:
Recipe
Blanch about 15 palak leaves in boiling water for 1 minute to which a pinch of salt is added( This will retain the colour of leaves) .
Drain and pass the leaves through cold water and drain and squeeze out the excess water and blend to a thick puree. Remove the puree , add ginger garlic paste , salt and green chilli paste (as to how spicy you want it). add a little amchur powder(optional) and a tsp of oil. add whole wheat flour as much as it fits into the puree.
DO NOT add water(it'l change the colour of the dough) Knead into a soft dough. Apply a little oil and cover with a damp cloth and keep aside for 30min .knead the dough again and make equal portions.
Roll out each ball , sprinkle a few sesame seeds and roll into parathas. Heat a tawa, place the paratha, turn it over and then drizzle oil/ghee around it. Flip over an d spread a little more oil and roast on both sides till done.

Note: Once you make
the palak puree do not keep it exposed to air for long as itl change
color and also itl give a slight bitter taste. Once you remove the
puree immediadtely knead the dough.
If you roast the parathas on an iron tawa you get the perfect look and taste too.
