I was bored of eating spinach in its normal forms like palak paneer,alu palak ,Palak amti, soup, paratha, etc.
Hence decided to prepare stuffed palak paratha instead of normal one which I had seen on marathi tv channel sugran.palak is a rich source of iron.The original recipe was for stuffed chawali math paratha .But i substituted chawali math leaves with palak & went ahead with entire recipe which resulted in delicious stuffed palak parathas / stuffed spinach paratha.Surely a keeper recipe .Simply irresistible.
Pls note you can make stuffed chawali /chavali & maath (red amaranth) parathas also by following the below process just replace palak leaves with chawali maath leaves.
