Palak roti recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium potato
  • 2 handfuls baby spinach (or 2 blocks of frozen spinach)
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/2 tsp masala
  • 4 heaped tbsp atta (chapati flour)

Method
 

  1. Peel and boil the potato and then mash. Alternatively, you could bake in the microwave, then peel and mash.
  2. Blend the spinach, onion and masala together until smooth. Add a little water or milk if needed.
  3. In a bowl add the potato and spinach mixtures.
  4. Gradually add the atta while mixing with your hands. Don’t add all the flour at once – if more is needed, add until a dough is formed.
  5. Using a handful of dough form a dough ball and then roll using a rolling pin into a circle.
  6. On a thava/ frying pan cook the roti on one side before turning to cook the other. Ensure all dough is cooked by continuously turning. Remove from the thava and spread a thin layer of butter on one side.  
  7. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
