Spinach and Paneer/Palak Paneer Stuffed Paratha-Easy Kid's Lunch box Recipe


Today is the first day of Blogging Marathon #24 for week 4 and the theme I chose is Kids Lunch Box recipe.Being a mom of 7 years old picky eater,packing a nutritious lunch box which suits for his taste buds is really challenging for me.He always wants his lunch box to be mess free and it should be a fusion recipe.
Recently found out he has a liking towards paneer and spinach stuffed samosas,so wanted to try this combo.One such thing he loves to take for lunch box is stuffed paratha smeared with tomato ketchup.So I experimented the stuffing with his favorite paratha and the end result was a super hit.He surprised me with an empty lunch box and said that it was so delicious.Here goes the recipe...............  

Ingredients

Oil or ghee for brushing the parathas

Method

  • Mix in wheat flour,salt and oil in a bowl,slowly add the water and knead into a stiff dough.Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile prepare the stuffing,heat a skillet with oil and crackle the cumin seeds,add the grated ginger and add the finely chopped spinach and saute it for a minute.Drain the excess water in the cooking process. Now add the powders,salt and mix it well so that everything gets blend and cook it for a minute or two.
  • Finally add the paneer and coriander leaves and put off the flame.Set it aside,let it cool completely.
  • After cooling divide into equal portions and also divide the dough into equal portions.
  • Flatten the dough into 3' disc and keep the stuffing and seal it.On a floured surface roll it into 6-7 inch paratha of desired thickness.
  • Cook it on a hot griddle both sides till golden color and spots appear,brush it with oil or butter or ghee according to your preference.
  • Serve it raitha,pickle,ketchup or curry of your choice.


Enjoy.....................................................

  • Do not cook the stuffing for a long time after adding the paneer.
  • It is necessary to drain the water while cooking the spinach otherwise the stuffing would be watery.
  • If the stuffing is watery add a tbs of thin poha(rice flakes) to absorb the moisture.
  • Try to use the fresh spinach as the frozen spinach tends to leave lot of water.
  • As I made it for my kid,didn't use green chillies if you want you can add finley chopped chilly along with ginger.

Coming to day 2 recipe for the blogging marathon#62,themed under no tomato gravy is a rich and creamy cauliflower aka gobi masala. As my family loves cauliflower,so it appears in my kitchen frequently in some form.I tried this cauliflower curry without tomato and used yogurt and cashews paste.The result was such an awesome and creamy curry. The chilly powder I used was bit spicy so the curry was in the spicier side so squeezed some lemon juice in the end.So adjust the spice level according to your family preference.Lets move on to the recipe.........                                                                                                                                                                                    Cauliflower Masala/Gobi Masala                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 15 minutes     Cooking time 30 minutes    Serves 3(generously)
