benefits of palak

 

    1. Good Source of Iron :
      Spinach is one of the richest plant sources of Iron and it should be part of a healthy diet for everyone, from the youngest child to the oldest adult. Cooked spinach is an excellent source of iron, a mineral that it particularly important for menstruating women, who are more at risk for iron deficiency. Boosting iron stores with spinach is a good idea, especially because, in comparison to red meat, a well-known source of iron, spinach provides iron for a lot less calories and is totally fat-free.
    2. Great Source of Insoluble Fiber :
      Raw spinach is very rich in insoluble fibre, 25% having soluble fiber and 75% insoluble fiber. The insoluble fibre contained in spinach has also been associated with protecting the heart and other vital organs from damage. Also known to prevent colon cancer as it removes toxic waste from our body quickly. See 17 amazing benefits of palak.
benefits of whole wheat flour

 

    1. Good for bones : Whole wheat flour is rich in Phosphorus which is a major mineral which works closely with calcium to build our bones. 
    2. Whole wheat flour Diabetic Friendly: Being rich in Magnesium, whole wheat flour  contributes to many health benefits and will improve insulin response by lowering insulin resistance. Excellent for controlling blood sugar levels through the presence of Zinc also.  See 11 super benefits of whole wheat flour.
tips for palak paneer paratha

 

    1. The spinach puree has to be thick. So do not add too much water while blending spinach. 
    2. While we have stuffed the paratha and made a semi-circle, you can place the stuffing in the centre, bring all the sides of roti in the centre, seal it and finally roll it again. 
    3. Grated cauliflower can be replaced with grated carrot. 
    4. Since very little oil is used to grease the tava before cooking the paratha, we suggest you serve these parathas immediately to enjoy its texture and flavour.

stuffing for palak paneer paratha

 

    1. Heat 1 tsp oil in a broad non-stick pan.
    2. Add 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera).
    3. Allow the seeds to crackle.
    4. Add 1 tbsp finely chopped green chillies.
    5. Saute on a medium flame for a few seconds. 
    6. Add 3/4 cup grated cauliflower. Cauliflower is extremely low in carbs and therefore does not raise blood glucose levels quickly. One cup Cauliflower provides you 100% off your daily recommended allowance of Vitamin C. It is rich in Antioxidant. Being rich in Indoles, Cauliflower and other Cruciferous Vegetables like broccoli, kale, radish, brussel sprouts, red cabbage  maintain Estrogen balances which is crucial for women.

    7. Saute on a medium flame for 2 minutes. Ensure the cauliflower doesn't burn. 
    8. Add 3/4 cup crumbled paneer (cottage cheese). If you are on weight loss, diabetic or heart patient then use low fat paneer. Paneer contains high quality protein and calcium which aids in weight loss. Since paneer is low in carbs and high in protein it gets digested slowly and hence good for diabetes. Potassium in paneer helps to reduce the effect of high sodium, by lowering blood pressure and contraction of blood vessels, resulting in improved heart health and reduced risk of heart attack.

    10. Add 1/2 tsp dried mango powder (amchur).
    11. Add 1/2 tsp chilli powder.
