What is it with rains and the craving to savour something fried?
.
.
Now, lemme' make it very clear that I do believe in moderation! Once in a while one can indulge in fried food, ghee based sweets and the like, it is still far better than all the highly processed stuff available out there.
.
Excuses! Excuses! Excuses!
.
So what was it going to be?
I saw this spinach roti recipe from http://veggiecuisine.blogspot.com/2007/03/spinach-roti-mbp-march-2007.html and decided to try it, thanks Lakshmi for this recipe!
I followed the recipe for the dough except for a minor change:
Being the garlicoholic(if there is such a word) that I am, I added 3 cloves grated garlic.
2 cups wheat flour (atta)
1 cup frozen palak
2 tbsp besan
1tsp ajwain
3 cloves garlic grated
2 tbsp cumin pwd
1 tsp chilli pwd
1/2 tsp turmeric pwd
1/2 cup curds
salt to taste
Oil to deep fry
Thaw the palak. Mix all except the oil and knead to a stiff dough, can add water as required. Roll into small puri and deep fry.
Enjoy these delicious puris either with pickle or as a part of a meal. Makes a great snack to go with a hot cuppa' tea as well.

Brilliant idea , I don't mind indulging in fried food some time. I will try them :)
Garlicoholic - that's the right word for garlic lovers. Maybe I am one too. I love garlic in any food. That was a nice idea to add garlic to the dough. I should try it out sometime. And yes having puri once a while is completely fine :) Good post Richa. Glad you liked the recipe.
