Chopped spinach leaves -1cup

Whole wheat flour - 3cups

Chopped green chillies -2tsps

Garam masala -1tsp (optional)

Salt and oil -As required


                                           Spinach leaf
Method:



Add little salt to spinach and stir fry till it changes colour. Add the chopped green chillies and garam masala. Set it aside to cool. Then mix the wheat flour and prepare soft dough out of it.  Rest it for few minutes not more. Divide the dough into equal balls. Roll out the balls into round flat breads. Heat a griddle and cook the flat bread on both sides using little oil. Serve hot with tomato sauce or curd. 


Note: Use only spinach leaves and not the stem.
