Ingredients
For The Dough

• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
• 1/2 tsp oil
• a pinch of salt

To Me Mixed Into A Stuffing

• 3 cups chopped spinach (palak)
• 1 cup finely chopped onions

Accompaniment

• 3/4 cup fresh low fat curds

Method

1. For the dough, combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using little water.
2. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll 1 portion into 150 mm. (6”) diameter thin circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling.
3. Place the roti on a greased hot non-stick tava (griddle) and place 1 portion of the stuffing on one half of the roti.
4. Fold the other half of the roti over the stuffing to make a semi-circle and press it lightly so that the stuffing doesn’t spill out.
5. Cook the paratha using oil till it turns golden brown in colour from both the sides.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to make 5 more parathas.
7. Serve hot with low-fat curds.
