Ingredients
Wheat flour (Atta) - 1 1/2 cups

Chopped Spinach - 2 cups
All purpose flour - For dusting

Ingredients
Wheat flour (Atta) - 1 1/2 cups
Salt - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Warm Water (microwaved for 30 sec) - 1/2 cup
Chopped Spinach - 2 cups
All purpose flour - For dusting
Method
Dough Kneading:
By Hand
By Hand
- In a wide bowl, take the wheat flour and add the salt, oil & chopped spinach. Mix them together.
- Add warm water (generously) to form a soft dough. Do not add water little by little.
- Place the dough on the countertop & knead for 5 min, adding little oil / flour, if needed.
- This dough should be as soft as a baby's cheeks when touched. If so, the parathas will be really soft.
- This dough can be used immediately or after some hours (close the bowl with a lid & let the dough rest)
- Fix either the dough blade / chopping blade to the food processor. (* Both blades will grind the spinach & make the parathas green.)
- Add the wheat flour, salt, oil & chopped spinach. Turn ON for 30 sec so that everything mixes together.
- Keeping the food processor ON, add warm water (slowly but continuously) to form a soft dough. The dough should form a ball together. This is when the food processor should be turned OFF.
- This dough should be as soft as a baby's cheeks when touched. If so, the parathas will be super soft.
- Dust the counter top with a little all purpose flour. Place the dough on the countertop & knead for 30 sec.
- This dough can be used immediately or after some hours (close the bowl with a lid & let the dough rest)
- The dough can be wrapped in ziplocs and can be freezed. Trust me....the parathas will be really soft even if made after a week.
Rolling Out:
- Now, make lemon sized balls out of the dough.
- Take a dough ball, coat it in the flour and roll out into a thin circular / square / rectangular / oval discs using a rolling pin.
Chappathi Making:
- Heat a dosa tawa / griddle.
- Brush the tawa with a little oil using a pastry brush and place the rolled out paratha.
- Brush some oil on top of the parathas.
- When the top side of the parathas starts puffing up slightly, flip it so that the other side gets cooked for about a minute.
- Once done, place the parathas in a hot box or cover (roll) them with soft towels / paper towels to retain the softness.
- Serve hot with chicken / mutton kurma or any vegetable kurma or paneer masala.
- These parathas stay soft even the next day.

Note
- These can be called "green chappatis" sine the spinach make them all green.
- All purpose flour is used for dusting because it gets absorbed into the dough and can't be felt outside.
Recommendation
- I would highly recommend a food processor for making chappati / paratha dough. I always get very soft chappathis / parathas when I use my food processor for dough kneading. Thanks to my dear friend Suja Moses for introducing to me the food processor dough kneading art. Now I'm rocking in my kitchen with these amazingly soft chappathis.
