Palak Paneer Paratha is one of the healthiest and tastiest breads that you can ever think of for dinner, or breakfast. Yes, I would say that it is a balanced meal in itself. It has the wholewheat flour and amaranth flour that form the source of carbohydrates. The palak (spinach) act as the source of vitamins and minerals. And the protien rich paneer (home-made cottage cheese) and the whey water completes the balanced meal.

Making palak paneer is a great way to ensure that the nutrients from foods like spinach and paneer, reach your body. Especially, for those who dislike them otherwise. As the spinach is well sealed inside the rotis it is pretty hard to remove them.. Smart Mom!! And benefits of paneer are numerous.
