  2. x86For the cover:
  3. x86Clean and Wash the Spinach leaves thoroughly. Keep the stems as much as possible. Blanch the Spinach leaves; Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of sugar and little salt. Add the spinach leaves and cook uncovered for ~5-8 minutes. Strain the water (donu2019t discard the water) and immediately add the cooked spinach to cold water.

For the stuffing:
  1. x86I used Nupuru2019s tip for cooking potatoes in the microwave with excellent results! Specially if you want no moisture in the potatoes for parathas follow this simple method: Wash the potatoes and prick them all over with a fork.Microwave on the turn table for 3 minutes. Turn them and microwave for another 2-3 minutes.(The time required may vary) Thatu2019s it. Peel and mash the cooked potatoes.
  2. x86Cut the cauliflower florets finely or as I did spin them in the Food processor once to have really fine florets!
  3. x86I did the same with the French beans.
  4. x86In a non stick pan dry cook the cauliflower and beans. Try and remove moisture as far as possible.
  5. x86Add the carrots and cook for a few more minutes.
  6. x86Cook till the veggies become a little tender.
  7. x86Mix all the ingredients for the stuffing.
  8. x86Flatten the dough ball into small thin circle.Stuff with as much stuffing as you can.
  9. x86Bring together the cover from all the sides to the center, seal tightly and roll out into thin round discs, using wheat flour for dusting.
  10. x86Cook on a hot griddle/tava, using a little oil/butter, until both sides are golden brown.
