Stuffed Parathas are big hit in our family and during winters it has to be mostly stuffed with green leafy vegetables. As I call them nutrients packed Paratha and that is mess free too . Just chop the green leaves (here I have used Spinach ) and blanch if you wish too or use it as it is otherwise, knead it with flour and spices and there you go. Make soft and delicious Parathas and enjoy them in breakfast , lunch or dinner. My daughter love palak paratha and ask to make them twice in a week , isn’t it good . So Let’s start the recipe yum

1 cup Spinach , blanched & chopped

Notes: Place the Paratha one over the other in the casserole to keep them soft.
Their shelf life is long , so you may pack the Paratha for lunch box , picnic or any journey for one or two days.
