#cookingwithgreenveggies

Ingredient

Food ration :

14 dhebra

Cooking time :

45 minutes

250 g

spinach washed and finely chopped

1 tbsp

oil to smoothen the dough after kneading

14 tsp

extra wheat flour for rolling dhebra

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a broad flat vessel take the washed and finely chopped palak/spinach. Add pickle masala, asafoetida (hing), turmeric powder (haldi), ginger garlic paste, sugar, oil, sesame seeds.

* Step 2

Mix well with hands. (This step is important. While mixing the mixture with hands, the water is released from the spinach. It makes it soft. After all the water is released, add flour. Flour should only be added till it is absorbed by water. This way the propoortion of spinach will be more and the dhebra would look green and softer).

* Step 3

Add the chickpea flour (besan). Add wheat flour and salt. Mix well. The water is absorbed by flour.

* Step 4

If you feel the mixture dry then add little curd to it. Mix well and knead into a semi tight dough. Apply oil to smoothen dough. Smoothen the dough and cover and keep aside for 5 minutes.

* Step 5

Make 14 -15 balls from the dough. Flatten and dust the ball with flour. Roll it into a 10 cm circle with 2 mm thickness.

* Step 6

Heat the flat pan. Put the rolled dhebra on it. The bubbles will start appearing. The heat should be medium. Flip the dhebra. Increase the heat to high. Apply and spread oil on the dhebra. Flip it on another side.

* Step 7

Press and roast the dhebra and cook till golden spots appear on both the sides. The dhebra is cooked. Similarly, make and cook the other dhebra. Serve the dhebra hot.

* Step 8

Palak dhebra can be served with any vegetable with curry, potato sukhi bhaji, raita, plain curd, mango choondo or pickle or chutney, soup. It is enjoyed also with a cup of tea for morning breakfast. You can also pack dhebra with choondo or pickle while travelling.
