Tips and Variations to make palak parathas : 

  • We have kept the parathas simple, but if you want you may stuff the parathas with grated cheese or paneer.
  • Make sure that you add not more that 1-2 tablespoons water while making palak puree. Otherwise, when you will add the puree to the flour, dough will turn out to be sticky and it would be very difficult to roll out parathas.
