Palak paneer parota



Spinach or palak as it is called in Hindi is rich in fiber besides vitamin A and C. When combined with cottage cheese/paneer its calcium content also increases. Hence, this is ideally suited for women and growing kids and particularly diabetics.

Ingredients:
Chopped spinach leaves -3 cup
Whole wheat flour -5 cup
Green chillies -2 
Coriander leaves -1/2 cup
Cottage cheese/paneer - 100 gm 
Chilly flakes 1 tsp 
Cheddar cheese cube -1 (optional)
Salt and oil - As required



Method:
To prepare filling:
Wash the cottage cheese. Chop the coriander leaves and green chillies finely. Mash the cheese cube and the cottage cheese along with the chopped green chillies and coriander leaves. 
Divide it equally and prepare  round balls with it. This becomes the filling for the flat bread.
To prepare the dough:
Add little salt to the spinach and stir fry till it changes colour. Set it aside to cool. Then, combine it with chilli flakes and wheat flour. Prepare a soft dough by adding spoonfuls of water if required. Rest for few minutes not more. Divide it into equal parts. 
To prepare the parota:
Flatten one part of the dough a little. Place the filling and seal it completely. Shape it form small balls. Roll out each of the ball with the filling into round flat breads.
Heat a griddle and cook each flat breads on both sides using little oil. Serve hot with red chutney, tomato sauce and green chutney.
