Spinach cheese Parathas

Yesterday night I was thinking about what to pack for my Kid's lunchbox. I was trying to find Tofu but I ran out of it. I wanted to add some protein to the Chapathi dough. What I have in my fridge were string cheese. They were cheddar and mozzarella blended string cheese. I thought of giving it a try ;-). So I mixed the Chapati dough with grated string cheese and finely cut spinach. Made the dough ready and kept it in the refrigerator. In the morning made the chapatis and packed along with sugar snap peas and cutie. They were looking so tempting so I made extra and had em for my breakfast. They are yummy. The Chapatis were soft and not overpowered with cheese taste. Its good that he is getting his daily protein without even knowing.
