Palak/Methi Chapathis




















A great way to get that green stuff in! And it doesn't taste as bad as it looks, it's quite nice!

Ingredients

  1. A bunch of palak leaves - soak in salt water for a a while and clean well.
  2. Atta (wheat flour), 2 cups
  3. Jeera powder (Cummin), 2-3 teaspoons, to taste
  4. Salt
  5. Crushed garlic and green chilly (if you want)

Procedure

  1. Grind palak in mixie well.
  2. Add it to atta, then add jeera powder and salt, and some crushed garlic and green chilly. Add additional water if needed (add water in mixie and pour that water in here - conserve, conserve!) and mix into a soft dough.
  3. Roll out chapathis!

My friend Rekha does it this way: "Take methi leaves fresh, take equal quantity of palak leaves, few strands of corriander leaves, wash and grind them into a fine paste in the mixer. Add this to the wheat flour with jeera , salt and green chillies. Make chapatis and have with plain curds. My son loves these chapatis."

You can have this with your regular vegetables/dal - or just chutney/chuney powder and curd. It does not have a very strong taste, so it is an easy chapathi substitute.
