Aloo Palak Paratha

Another recipe for my lunchbox series.Paratha is one of my Fav to pack in lunchbox. Coz you can add anything to the dough and Kids won’t complain.It’s mess free for kids to eat. No need to pack a curry.I already have few Paratha recipes on the blog.You can check them under ‘Kidzbites’.Also check my 'Lunchbox for 2 weeks' post for more lunch box ideas. 

Aloo Palak Paratha is very easy to make as the veggies are both mixed in flour.Since the stuffing is already in the dough it’s easy to roll em.I have added chill powder to the dough to spice it up.You can also add coriander powder, chat masala or any flavors you like. I also suggest adding Ajwain seeds (Vamu) which gives a nice taste.You can also serve these Parathas with Kadhi. When you pack em for lunch box pack some protein on the side like hard boiled Egg or string cheese.

Not only for Kids lunch box they are perfect for adult lunch box.Also they are great grab and go breakfast.They would taste great with pickle on the side or spread on chapati.

So make these Easy and healthy Parathas for your Kid’s or adult lunch box next time. Or make hot n fresh Parathas for dinner.
