PALAK PANEER PARATHA

When i started making it,i was sort of ,very nervous coz the first thing that struck me was...oops its so full of calories..but then i thought sometimes its important to give urself a gastronomic treat..rt?
i started with paneer..made it all by myself..
here it goes-
Milk- 1L(boiled)
vinegar-2tsp
water-1 cup

boil the milk,add the vinegar to the water n add this to the warm milk....heat...u'll see milk curdling instantly...now drain the water n add fresh water from the walls of the vessel....shake it gently..n remove..tie it in a muslin cloth n leave for 30 min.


For the dough

1 1/2 teacups plain flour (maida)
1 1/2 teacups whole wheat flour
2 teacups chopped spinach
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons ghee
1 teaspoon salt



For stuffing

1 cup grated cauliflower
1 cup crumbled paneer
2 tsp chopped coriander
3 to 4 green chillies, chopped
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
1tsp red chilli powder
salt to taste


ghee for finally roasting it on the griddle.





Start by blending the spinach and lemon juice with 2 tablespoons of water in a liquidiser.

Sieve the flours with the salt. Add the ghee and mix well.
Add the spinach mixture. Make a semi-soft dough by adding enough water.
Leave for 5 min.

Divide the dough into 6 portions.

Roll out one portion of the dough, put about 1 tsp of the stuffing in the centre and seal the edges.

Roll out again into a thick paratha.

Roast on a hot griddle on both sides using a little ghee until golden.
Serve it with fresh cream,sauce or pickle..
i personally prefer cream....its yummy....
