Palak Paratha

I hate to admit that I'm not very fond of spinach, but knowing its health benefits I always try and incorporate it in different ways in our diet. I just chop a few leaves and add it to any gravy.
This is the first time I made Spinach parathas.
I was looking for a recipe to send to the 'Easy Breezy Breakfast Event' and found this recipe at
Laavanya's Cookery Corner. I just made a few changes. The parathas were soft, looked and tasted great and of course healthy.



Ingredients:
2cups whole wheat flour
3cups baby spinach
3-4green chillies
1tsp coriander powder
1tsp cumin powder
salt to taste
water as required
Little ghee/butter

Method:
Wash the spinach and drain excess water. Put it in a microwave safe bowl and micro on high for 1min to blanch the leaves.
Grind the spinach and green chillies to a paste. Mix all the ingredients to make a soft dough. Keep in an air-tight container or cover with a damp cloth and keep aside for some time.
Make balls out of the dough and roll into thin chappatis. Smear a little ghee on top. 
Fold and roll again into thick parathas.
Heat a griddle and roast the parathas, smearing a little ghee on each side till light brown and puffed.
Serve hot with pickles and curd.
