Palak paratha is a good combination of taste and health. It's one more way of eating palak. You can also add a pinch of turmeric powder to the dough to give it a nice yellow color which is very appealing.

Don't knead the dough of palak paratha too well in advance. Otherwise palak will leave water and dough will be a bit difficult to manage.
