Crispy and delicious lachha paratha is loved by everyone. Today, I made a healthy and tasty spinach lachha paratha. Spinach is especially good in winter, and enjoying these nutritious, layered spinach parathas with yogurt is a real treat. You can serve palak lachha paratha with yogurt, your favorite chutney, or potato curry.

Steps

1

First, wash the spinach thoroughly several times in water, then chop it finely.
2

In a blender jar, add the chopped spinach, ginger, garlic, and green chili. Blend into a paste. Mix chaat masala into the spinach paste.
3

In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour. Add salt to taste, the spinach paste, and ghee or oil for mixing. Knead into a dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
4

After 10 minutes, divide the dough into small balls. Dust with dry flour and roll each ball into a thin, round disc.
5

Spread ghee or oil on top of the rolled paratha and sprinkle with dry flour.
6

Fold the paratha in layers, then roll it up into a spiral. Dust with dry flour again and roll it out into a round paratha.
7

Heat a skillet (tawa). Cook the paratha on one side, then flip. Apply ghee or oil and cook until crispy and golden brown.
