• 1/4 tsp Chilli powder
• Water (few spoons as needed)

To make the dough

• Blanch spinach. Grind it using no water, the paste should be smooth and fine.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the spinach puree along with the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
• Knead into a soft pliable dough.The puree will be enough to make the dough firm, but just in case if it’s not enough, try using spoonfuls of yoghurt or water.
• Once done kneading, cover it and keep it aside for 2 hours.

To make the Parathas

• Grab handfuls of the dough and roll each ball to a thin circle.
• Heat a pan or a flat girdle, place the rolled dough on it and allow it to cook for few minutes on both sides.
• Lightly brush ghee/ oil on both sides of parathas.
• Serve hot with achar, yogurt or dal.
