I had got this bunch of arai keerai, a type of greens like spinach and mustard greens. I had wanted to do the Keerai Masial and rice, but my daughter didn't want to have rice that day. I had to use the spinach the same day and I had some paneer in the freezer, so put the the two together and made these Keerai/Spinach Paneer Parathas. They came out very well, we had it with some tomato thokku and curd..
Need To Have
For The Filling
- Chopped Keerai/Spinach - 3 cups
- Paneer - 1/2 cup scrambled
- Red Chilly Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
- Turmeric Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
- Cumin Seeds - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - to taste
For The Outer Layer
- Whole Wheat Flour - 1 + 1/2 cups
- Ajwain - 1 + 1/2 teaspoon
- Turmeric Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
- Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
Method
Mix the flour, ajwain, salt and turmeric powder, add water little by little and make a soft dough, cover and leave it. Coarsely pound the cumin seeds.
Heat some oil, add the cumin seeds, when it starts sizzling, add the turmeric and chilly powders, immediately followed by the spinach and salt, cover and cook for about 5 or 7 minutes till the spinach gets cooked. It should be dry, if there is water, cook it uncovered till it dries out.

Now mix in the paneer for about a minute, remove and cool. Make ten balls out of the dough and the inner filling.
Roll out a small circle, place one filling and press it slightly. then close the dough over it and make a flat ball with it.
Now, dusting with some flour roll out into discs, put it on a hot tawa or skillet, cook on both sides with some oil. Serve it warm with any pickle.
Note
While rolling out after stuffing with the filling, roll it on the side that you close, it's easier and the filling doesn't come out that much.
Only flip the parathas three times while cooking, first you place the paratha, after half a minute, make the first flip, apply some oil, make the second flip and apply oil on the other side. Once the bottom side gets some brown spots, flip the third time and cook the other side.
If you don't have ajwain/bishop weed just ignore it.
You can use any kind of greens, just make sure the filling comes out dry.
