Moong Dhal and Spinach Paratha

For the third day of mess free lunch box in Blogging Marathon #35 I am sharing a paratha with moong dhal and spinach.This doesn't need any side accompaniment,with simple pickle,curd and ketchup taste good with this one.I make the paratha slightly smaller in size as it fits to my kiddo's lunch box.Off to the recipe...........

Method

Soak the moong dhal in water for 30 minutes and drain the excess water.
Mix everything together and add 2 tbs of oil,mix it well.Make a dough by adding little by little of water and the dough should be stiff,keep it aside for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal balls and roll it gently to a paratha by dusting the flour.Cook it in a griddle both sides by adding few drops of oil till golden.

Paratha is ready

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

Instead of spinach,methi leaves or coriander leaves can be used.
Here I used the chilly powder,it can be substituted with finely chopped green chilly.
When ever I make for my kiddos's lunch box in the morning I soak the moong dhal previous night and keep it in refrigerator.
