Stuffed Aloo Palak Paratha is a wholesome meal by itself, made with whole wheat flour, stuffed with a spinach, potato, and spices. This can be eaten as such or with just pickle and curds.

When I thought of Stuffed Dishes, I immediately wanted to try some stuffed parathas. While checking my collection of Stuffed Parathas, I know I have some handful of these that make a wholesome meal by itself. I checked out the ingredients I had on hand and saw some spinach stocked.

While I have stuffed palak parathas in different ways, this method is inspired by Nisha Madhulika recipe that has all spices included and along with aloo, besan is added to give body to the stuffing. This ended up being very filling and with just a pickle and some curds on the side, this turned out to be a heavy meal.

We are starting the BM#89, the third week, where I will be sharing some three different stuffed dishes. I am quite fond of this theme, as I seem to have repeated it a couple of times. You can check out the Stuffed Recipes in Spice your Life and Stuffed dishes in C4AS.
