Palak or spinach is rich in iron and essential nutrients.This is a delicious way of adding spinach paste to the dough be it puri or any flatbread. The beautiful green colour of spinach infused in the dough is not only eye soothing but also a tasty variation of making something different from the regular dough.Serve palak puri in breakfast,lunch or dinner or simply as an evening snack.
