Equipment

  • 1 flat pan
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Sieve
  • 1 Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

For the filling

  • 100 grams spinach, chopped
  • tbsp paneer, chopped or ricotta
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chilli pepper
  • ½ tsp salt

For the paratha

  • 1⅓ cup wholewheat flour
  • ¼ cup water (plus a little more, if needed)

Instructions
 

  • In your mixing bowl, add 1 cup of wholewheat flour and water and mix by hand. Continue to mix by hand and add a little more of the spare flour if it's too sticky.
  • Remove from the bowl and kneed into a round ball on a floured work surface. Kneed for 5 mins, return this to the mixing bowl and then set aside.
  • In a pan on medium heat, add all the filling ingredients (apart from the paneer/ricotta) into a pan and sauté until the spinach has cooked. Remove from heat.
  • Add the cooked spinach into the sieve and drain all the liquid until you're left with a reasonably dry pulp. Heat the pulp in the pan for 1-2 mins to fully remove any remaining liquid.
  • Add your paneer/ricotta to the spinach pulp and heat for a further 1-2 mins.
  • Grab your dough ball and split into two balls. Flatten each one on a floured work surface and place 1-2 tablespoons of your spinach/cheese mixture in the middle.
  • Wrap the mixture with the edges so that your form a filled ball. Repeat this for the remaining dough ball.
  • Flatten each filled ball with your palm and roll each one out into a round paratha using a rolling pin.
  • Heat your pan on medium heat and grease it with a thin layer of butter. Place one paratha and allow to cook for 3-5 mins on each side. Repeat for the remaining paratha then remove from heat and allow to cool for 1-2 mins.
  • Serve and enjoy!
