For The Dough
1 cup maize flour (makai ka atta)
1/4 cup chopped spinach (palak)
1 tsp finely chopped green chillies
2 tsp oil
salt to taste
1/4 tsp oil for kneading
To Be Mixed Into A Stuffing

1/4 cup boiled and mashed green peas
1/4 cup finely chopped coriander (dhania)
salt to taste
Other Ingredients
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling

Method
- Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and knead into a soft dough using enough water. Keep aside.
- Knead again using oil till smooth and divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll out each portion into 100 mm. (4") diameter circles using a little wheat flour for rolling.
- In the dough, instead of spinach, you can add chopped greens like shredded cabbage, fenugreek leaves etc for a variation.
- One can add tofu and mint in the stuffing instead of paneer.
- Divide the stuffing into 4 equal portions and keep aside.
- Place a dough circle on a clean, dry surface and place one portion of the stuffing in the centre, fold the edges over the stuffing to make a square.
- Press it lightly to seal the stuffing, flatten the dough and roll out again into a square of 125 mm. (5") using a little flour for rolling.
- Heat a tava (griddle) and cook the paratha on both sides, using a little oil till both sides turn golden brown in colour.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more parathas. Serve hot with a dollop of butter.
