Being born and raised in an Indian family, Parathas were one of the first things I learned to cook. My mom made sure I learned the techniques as she always said that if you learn this, you will be able to pair this with any vegetable or curry and make a wholesome meal. After mastering the parathas, I learned that there were variety of them and you can be so creative with what you want to stuff your parathas with. I love to explore different flavors and last week when Mom came over, she taught me Palak Paneer Paratha. I was in awe how delicious it tasted and who knew it contained everything you would want in a complete meal. I knew I had to share this recipe. This was so easy to make and I am definite I will be making this very often. It’s perfect for school lunches and weeknight dinners. Leaving you with this simple recipe. Don’t forget to send me 📸 when you do make it
