Stuffed or just rolled with spice mix plus one veggie, any time you eat a paratha served with a generous dollop of butter, you know that you aren’t going to feel hungry anytime soon!

Because of the fact that I am North India, it is difficult to imagine our weekly breakfast without making parathas at least once or twice a week. So, Pumpkin Paratha, Dry Fruits Paratha, Pudina Laccha Paratha, Gobhi ka Paratha, Keema Paratha are some of the instant hits in my family.

But, as per nothing beats the tempting combination of paneer and enriching vegetable stuffed with finesse in a wheat flatbread – isn’t it? After trying Broccoli and Paneer Paratha once which turned out really lipsmacking, I tried its Indian version as well, yes, ladies, our very favourite Palak Paneer Paratha! So waste no time and check out  How to make Palak Paneer Paratha.

Almost as tastier as Palak Paneer Sabzi, Palak Paneer Paratha gets made with a generous layer of spinach, wheat flour which is stuffed with paneer and spices! Imagine a heavenly green flatbread which oozes out with nicely melted, grated paneer, onions and spices – ain’t that just enough to give a #FoodComa, peeps?

To cook this palak paratha, spinach puree is added in the paratha dough and then it is stuffed with a  spicy paneer mix. Roll paratha and then fry until crisp and golden brown. You can serve it with sides of pickle and raita. This is definitely an improvised version of Paneer paratha as it is much tastier and healthier.

Talking about my clan, they were literally taken by surprise as soon as I served them Palak Paneer Paratha, wondered for a minute and gorged on it like there’s no tomorrow!
