This paratha, made with green veggies, is perfect for those mornings when you want to eat something wholesome yet uncomplicated. The green veggies in these are mixed directly in the dough, so each mouthful captures that fresh taste, mild bitterness, & gentle sharpness. The use of Aashirvaad High Fibre Multigrain Atta enhances the structure and chewiness of the paratha while also adding fibre from the grains of soya, chana, oats, corn, & psyllium husk.
Instead of being prepared as a side dish, this recipe uses the greens by adding them to the entire paratha base. The addition of curd to the dough keeps it soft, moisture comes from the greens, and the final product is a paratha that remains tender after cooking. This is an everyday meal that works wonderfully for busy mornings, after a workout, or when you are enjoying a leisurely brunch and demonstrates how common ingredients can be used to provide comfort and nutrition simultaneously.
In a bowl, combine Aashirvaad High Fibre Atta Multigrain flour, salt, turmeric powder, and finely crushed cumin seeds. Add the curd to the flour mixture and blend all together well. Slowly add enough water to make a soft, pliable dough. Add the chopped spinach, fenugreek, onion greens, ginger, and green chilli to the mixture, then add the oil and mix until just combined.

Rest the dough
Cover your dough with a damp towel and set aside for approximately 15 minutes. This helps ensure that the high-fibre flour thoroughly absorbs moisture and allows all the chopped green vegetables to release their moisture, making it easier to roll the parathas.

Shape the parathas
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, then roll each into a smooth, round shape. Lightly coat with dry full-wheat flour, then roll out into circle-shaped discs of medium thickness.

Cook the green vegetable parathas
