Palak or spinach is used in many ways in day to day cooking like curries, salads, stir fry or sauces. In this recipe, spinach is used as key ingredient in making of "Palak Chapathi". I make chapathi or roti or phulkas at-least 3 to 5 times a week and I like to try something new each time I make these. Previously, I had posted Beetroot Chapathi and Oats Chapathi on Shruchi Kitchen.
In this recipe, there are other ingredients like green chilies and garam masala that adds some heat and aromatic flavors.
Ingredients
2 cups Wheat Flour
1 big bunch Spinach
4 Green Chilies, finely chopped
1/2 tsp Garam masala

- Add 1 cup of water from previous step to knead dough. Add some more water if required while kneading. The dough should be very soft. Cover the dough in damp cloth and leave it for 30 minutes
