Greens and carrots, interestingly flavoured with ginger, green chillies and other common but effective taste-givers, form the stuffing for these sumptuous whole wheat parathas.
The combination of spinach and chawli greens gives the parathas a unique, very appetizing taste that you are sure to enjoy.
Since the Spicy Chawli Leaves and Spinach Stuffed Paratha has a rich and spicy taste by itself, you can just serve it with a cup of curds.
This is a fabulous way to use chawli leaves, and you will be happy to see your whole family relishing it!
Try other parathas like the Papad Stuffed Parathas or Paneer Stuffed Green Pea Parathas .
