Buckwheat is a Pseudo Cereal. It has all the nutritional properties of a grain,but it is actually a seed. It can be eaten whole after roasting, in the cracked form, or one can use the flour. This is a super food that has been overlooked so far. In India, people usually consume during certain festival when they are required to avoid grains
Raw Banana Flour is soon gaining importance as a dietary fiber. It is used as a replacement for wheat flour in people having gluten intolerance. The flour has resistant starch, which is why it acts as a dietary fiber.
So this Hariyali Paratha with Buckwheat and Raw Banana flours is a powerpacked lunch or dinner idea. Served with a Raita( yogurt dip) and Pickle is a meal in itself.

Steps

40 minutes

1

Take the Fenugreek greens(Methi) and the spinach in a bowl. Add little water, and microwave on high for 3 minutes or pour hot water over the greens,and keep them covered for 5 minutes. Reserve some of the blanched water, drain the rest, and cool the greens completely.
2

Now blend the greens to a coarse puree and set aside. In a mixing bowl, take the Buckwheat flour and the raw Banana flour. To this, add salt,turmeric powder, coriander powder, fennel powder, red chilli powder,green chillies, and mix well.
3

Now add the pureed greens to the flour mix, and start combining with your fingers. If you find it dry, add some of the blanched water. About 1 to 2 tbsp is enough(check notes). Combine to form a pliable dough.
4

Now, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Take one ball, dust it in buckwheat flour,and place it on butter paper. With a rolling pin start flattening it gently. If cracks appear, bring them together with your fingers and roll again. Keep turning the butter paper while rolling the dough to flattened it to an even thickness.
5

Heat a tawa or girdle, and grease with a little oil. Now lift up the butter paper with the flattened dough and invert it on the Tawa, peel away the butter paper gently(the same paper can be used to roll out all the dough). Apply little oil and cook the Paratha on one side, flip it over and cook the other side, drizzling some oil over it. Repeat for the whole quantity of dough. Serve hot with Raita(yogurt dip), butter, and pickle.
