Palak(Spinach) Paratha

Spinach has a high nutritional value and is extremely rich in antioxidants, especially when fresh, steamed, or quickly boiled. It is a rich source of various vitamins. Spinach, along with other green leafy vegetables, is considered to be a rich source of iron. Making spinach parathas is an easy way to get kids eat spinach since kids are most likely to be attracted to green parathas. I made Bombay saagu for this Palak paratha.Who wants it???
