What do you do when kids turn up their noses at the very mention of spinach? Should you try to extol the virtues of spinach, try to threaten or cajole them? No. I suggest you serve them these yummy palak puris! Kids love the vibrant green colour and the great taste.
When they were young my kids too were not fond of spinach but they loved these crisp and tasty palak puris.
Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour ( atta)
Small bunch of spinach ( palak)
Salt to taste
1 tbsp oil + to fry
1/2 tsp ajwain ( carom seeds)
Method: Wash spinach thoroughly. Discard stems and chop spinach roughly. Put 1/2 cup water to boil and add the spinach. Remove from flame as soon as the leaves wilt. Let it cool a little and then make into paste in the mixer with the same water it was boiled in.
Sieve flour and add salt to taste, 1 tbsp oil and 1/2 tsp carom seeds. Use the prepared spinach paste to knead flour into a semi hard dough. Cover and leave aside for a few minutes. In a heavy bottom pan add oil and let it warm up. Roll out puri with the help of a rolling pin on a floured board. Lift the puri and gently drop into the hot oil. Let it puff up and cook on one side and then flip it to cook on the other side. Take out and keep on an absorbent paper. Fry the other puris in the same way. You can fry more than one puri at a time depending on the size of the pan.
