Spinach-Corn Paratha

How much I love making parathas!!! And when it’s about any sort of stuffed paratha, that serves a complete meal itself :) Till now, I was scared of trying anything using sweet corn, as hubby doesn’t like it much. And still I took a risk of trying this classic combo – “Spinach n Corn’ in making paratha! Believe me, it tasted so yummy…

Of course, kids hardly like eating green leafy vegetables… And this is possibly a way to make them like it! Corn lends amazing sweetness and spinach with lots of fiber :) But for little fuzzy eaters, addition of potato works great ;) Isn’t it a great idea to try out in your kitchen?

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 Bunch Spinach, chopped
1/2 cup Boiled Corn
1 Boiled Potato
1 Green chilly, finely chopped
1 tsp Roasted Cumin Powder
Salt, to taste
Cooking Oil, as required

STEPS TO FOLLOW:

1. Knead a soft dough by mixing all specified ingredients and cover with a cling wrap. Keep it aside for half hour.
2. Grind boiled corn to make a coarse paste.
3. Take chopped spinach, mashed potato and corn paste in a bowl and add spices.
4. Mix everything together and divide the stuffing in 6-7 balls. Divide the dough in 6-7 balls too.
5. Roll out one dough balls and put a stuffing ball in center. Cover from all sides like kachori and roll it out again to make 7″ paratha.
6. Heat flat griddle and place this paratha on it.
7. Drizzle a few drops of oil on both the sides and cook until light brown spots appear on surface.
8. Serve hot with a bowl of yogurt!

SJ’s NOTE:

You can add chopped fenugreek leaves for more herby flavor!
