Notes
Blanching part is important so see to that the colour of the palak is maintained. Don’t over cook and show immediately in cold water so that it stops cooking. This can be rolled as simple chapati shapes or the above triangle shaped parathas. Water from the palak is more so when making dough pour water with caution.
