Aloo Palak Paratha is a tasty and filling breakfast. Spinach puree is mixed in the dough, rolled are filled with a potato mix to make a colourful and delicious paratha. The green colour filled paratha looks good, is healthier and filling.
Parathas are always welcome at home, they make the best breakfast recipes. Aloo Paratha, is obviously the first choice for my family. But at times, I do make variations as potato and pea paratha or aloo methi paratha. Today, I am sharing aloo palak paratha.
Spinach is a store house of nutrients, I find ways to include it in my cooking. We all know spinach and potato are a match made in heaven. They comprehend well in a gravy like or a sabzi. I have made this paratha a couple of times, but could not share it with you all.

I was planning my menu for next week when I saw this post from you. Since I have both palak and aloo, this is going straight to my menu.
I like the idea of making aloo parathas this way. Very innovative. Kneading the dough with spinach puree makes them nutritious.
This is a fantastic idea. I will love to make these for my lunch box too. they will be so filling.
