dinner party couple of weeks ago.. Got the recipe

Microwave spinach for 5 mins with pinch of salt.
Drain water keep aside. Let it cool down

Grind the boiled spinach with cumin & garam masala powder.

Now slowly add flour to this mixture.

It will be sticky but it's ok.

Add 1 tsp oil and knead the dough.

Keep it closed for 15 mins.
Then make even round balls.

Dust with flour & roll it.

It will be sticky so keep dusting with flour.

Turn the paratha after few mins & apply oil.

Turn again and apply oil (1/4 tsp oil).
Cook both sides till golden brown.

Serve hot parathas with dahi & achar :-)
