Spinach Chapati is delightfully delicious, incredibly interesting and positively portable! It is nothing but a normal chapati dough which is kneaded with spinach puree. It is great for kids lunch boxes.
Over time, I have come to the conclusion that flatbread dishes are among the perfect meals. You can pair it with a side as simple as salted and peppered onions or with a rich and creamy gravy. The meal can be simultaneously delicious, interesting, and portable.
Besides being a perfect breakfast or a quick brunch, spinach chapati or palak roti are also ideal for carrying in a lunch box or for a picnic. It is a wholesome and nutritious alternative to store-bought flatbreads.
I have been working on a vegetable chapati recipe for a while. It took some time to get all the pieces of the puzzle right. I managed to stick with whole wheat flour and a decent serving of vegetables. Given how difficult it is to feed spinach to my kids, adding spinach was an easy decision. If done the right way, palak chapati is very nutritious and a great option for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The directions are very simple. Close-to-perfect as they are, you can always enhance it by adding ripe bananas to the dough, or any other steamed vegetables. there are so many options.
