Palak Ke Parathe


Palak Ke Parathe

Spinach/ Palak is one of my favourite vegetables. Whether in palak panner, palak bhaaji, palak pakora and the list will be endless, I love palak in anything.  As a kid, I remember eating palak puri. So my initial idea was to make palak puree and add in flour to make puris. But then my health conscious mind kicked and said no puris, make parathas. For paratha I was super lazy to blanch and puree, so I thought lets make it thepla style, the way we add raw methi leaves to the dough. So guys check out and do try.
Ingredients:

1 Bunch Palak leaves chopped, thoroughly wash and chopped.
1 PCS Boiled Potato (mashed/ grated)
2 ½ cups Atta
1 TSP Ajwain/ Carrom Seeds
1 TSP Sada Til/ White Sesame seeds
2 Pcs Hari Mirch/ Green Chillies finely chopped
2-4 Cloves of Garlic/ Lasun finely chopped
1”  PCS of Ginger/ Adrak
1-2 TBSP Dahi
Salt as per taste
2 TSP Oil
Ghee/ Oil for frying
This was for dinner
 

This was lunch in office with some dahi and chaas
 

How to make

In a mixing bowl first add aata, salt, til, ajwain seeds, mirchi, lasan, adrak, 1 TSP Oil and mix properly. Add palak leaves, mashed potato and mix it well with atta. With the help of water need a little stiff dough than parathas as palak will leave water. Apply Oil on the dough ball once the dough is ready. Rest it only for 5 Minutes. Make parathas normally as you would make any other paratha.
Try this with Aloo Dum

Recipe-Dudhi Chana Dal Nu Shaak

This is one of the favourite dish of my grandfather. I also loved this dish minus the dudhi. As a child, I was a fussy eater. Still I am, but now I can try different cuisines and vegetables. My husband was asking me to make channa dal for a long time. So I thought why not make a tried and tested combination. This is a healthy combination- dal is a rich source of protein and dudhi is rich in dietary fibres. Long list of health benefits of dudhi, so one should try to include it in our meals.   This is a typical gujrati meal. Shaak is a guju word meaning sabzi in hindi and vegies in English. Dudhi means lauki in hindi and bottle gourd in English. It is bottle gourd curry. Adding some jaggery or sugar is a must if preparing in gujju style.   Ingredients 1/2 cup Split bengal gram (Chana dal), soaked for at least an hour 2 cups Bottle gourd (Dudhi, ghiya, lauki) Water as per your requirement 1 Medium sized chopped tomatoes 1” Gr...

Solo trip to Melaka

My husband, Devdeep, had gone for a week to India on a business trip. I was all alone at home. Staying alone is always an issue as I was raised in joint family. Week days were still okay as most of the time was spent in office. So for the weekend I decided to go to Melaka. D was at his sasural (in-laws place) sleeping peacefully at the time I called him to inform that I was going to Melaka. After having my breakfast, I left for Melaka. Malacca, or Melaka as the locals fondly call it, is a Malaysian city located about 150 kilometres away from Kuala Lumpur and is the capital of the State of Malacca. I took a bus to Larkin Sentral from Queen Street at around 12 o clock. Generally the buses are crowded on weekends unlike this Saturday. Immigration was also fast and smooth both for Singapore and JB. I reached Larkin bus station at 1.15 PM and bought a single way bus ticket to Melaka. I couldn’t find a vegetarian stall in the hawker centre near the bus station so I h...

Whole Wheat Eggless Pancakes

As a kid I was always fascinated by seeing pancakes in breakfast while watching western movies/series. From that time I always wanted to have those heavenly treats. I didn’t know how to make it nor did my mother knew. So I had never had the opportunity to have pancakes as a kid. I tried my first pancakes, the blue berry and oats pancake, made by my brother in-law and I instantly fell in love with them. After that I have tried   various recipes from youtube videos and finally I came up with my own recipe which suits my taste palette . This is a super easy recipe and bare minimum utensils are required. Just a blender and frying pan and you are good to go. Ingredients 1/2 Cup Whole wheat flour 2 Overly Ripped Banana 1/2 Cup Milk 1 TBSP Jagger Powder/ Sugar A pinch of Salt 1/2 TSP Pumkin Pie Spice 1 TBSP Ghee/Butter Process: Just through in all the ingredients except butter in a blender and blend until smooth.
