Palak / Spinach Roti & Puri

PALAK ROTI & PURI

Power green palak/spinach roti and puri are not only gorgeous but also packed with vitamins B, C and E, minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids, so it comes into the category of healthiest plant based foods. It’s tender green leaves are used in varieties of cuisines, though it has slightly bitter taste. Palak / Spinach Roti has a hint of garlic in it and is the most wanted in our house. I can also prepare palak puri , for that the dough should be tight and while kneading add a tablespoon of semolina/sooji to keep the crispness & fluffy for long time. Here’s the presentation of Palak roti and puri.
