Spinach Paratha
A stuffed griddle bread from the north Indian breakfast canon — crisp in places, pillowy in others, with a savoury spinach heart. Gives you a proper meal in 45 minutes.

Roll a ball of dough into a small disc, cup the filling inside, seal, and roll out gently — flour lightly so nothing bursts.

Stack them in a cloth to stay soft; serve with cold yogurt or pickle.
Chef's tip
Softer the dough, softer the paratha — go past comfortable.
