Palak Makke ka Paratha














Ingredients
Palak leaves 3 bunches ( washed n chopped)
1 big onion chopped
Garlic paste 2 tbsp
Green chillies according to taste
Course corn meal or Makke ka aata 1 cup or more
Wheat aata according to need
yoghurt 200 gms
Kasuri methi 5-8 tbsp
oil
salt

Method
Fry onions and garlic till they are dark brown. Add chopped palak leaves, kasuri methi, chopped chillies and salt and cook till the vegetable is thoroughly cooked with no water remaining. In fact it should be as dry as possible.
Separate a little of this cooked palak to serve as accompanying curry, and then cool the rest.
 Now mix this remaining palak ( which you have cooled) with makki aata, wheat aata, cumin seeds, more salt,  and yoghurt and knead a dough thick enough to make parathas. You can add more makki/wheat aata if the dough is very lose or add more yoghurt/water if the dough is very tight.
Now roll out the parathas and shallow fry them with plenty of oil till they are nicely brown and crisp.
Serve hot with the remaining palak curry.
