You know what makes a winter interesting? Any guess?
Well, I would say FOOD! The aroma from the kitchen coming from the parantha being cooked on tawa (griddle), Sarson da saag and Makki ki roti with Makhan. Whoa!
Today’s recipe is for Palak Paratha, the easiest and tastiest way to feed Palak to kids or grownups, who cringe on hearing its name. Spinach is incredibly healthy, with lots of iron content, say bye-bye to hair fall.
These yummy Palak parathas are crispy and soft, and all you need is blanket, Netflix, a hot cuppa of tea and endless bites of this parathas.
Plain Parathas taste great with achaar and on the other hand if you feel like experimenting try Capsicum Cheese Paratha, and who can forget the good old Aloo Ka Paratha. Try these this winter.
Let’s get started!
