Steps

50-60 minutes
  1. 1

    Prepare the Spinach Puree:- Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly. Bring water to a boil and add the spinach along with a pinch of salt and sugar. Blanch for just 30–40 seconds. Immediately transfer the spinach to iced water. This helps retain its beautiful green colour.

  5. 5

    Make the Layered Paratha :-
    Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll one portion into a thin disc. Brush lightly with oil and spread some paneer stuffing evenly over it. Roll it up gently.
    Leave a little space at both ends and make a slit through the middle of the roll. Separate and lift the layers, then roll it into a spiral to create a lachha-style paratha. Flatten gently and roll it out again.
