Aloo Palak Poori is a deep fried Indian Flatbread that has the spinach puree and potato blended with spices to the dough and kneaded, deep fried as pooris.
I love all stuffed pooris and masalas blended to the dough and these make delicious pooris that can be packed for lunch. This aloo palak poori can be eaten as such without any side dish though with pickle and curds would be great. I served it with chana masala and it made a sinful treat to enjoy.
This is for the second day of BM#97, Week 2, where I am making Lunch Boxes for Kids, so sending this to my Kid's Delight event, guest hosted by Bhawana themed on Lunch Box Dishes In 30 Minutes.

I really love how colorful both the Puris look. The color itself would be an attractive factor for the kids.

This poori looks awesome Valli. Usually potato adds a nice softness when added in the dough. With spinach, the taste must be so yum.
