    Stuffed Aloo Palak Paratha is a wholesome meal by itself, made with whole wheat flour, stuffed with spinach, potato, and spices. This can be eaten as such or with just pickles 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 themselves. 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 BM#89, the third week, where I will be sharing 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.

    Other stuffed parathas you can also relish will be these Cauliflower Aloo Stuffed Paratha, Aloo Stuffed Ajwain Paratha, Mooli Ki Paratha.

      I have never added spinach in aloo paratha, though otherwise have made paratha with spinach. I must say that it is a wonderful and healthy addition to the usual aloo paratha.

      I also love making suffed parathas with various stuffings and one of them is methi aloo paratha. Never tried palak aloo paratha and the Nisha Madhulika inspired version sounds very delicious.

      Adding Besan to spinach definitely must have added more taste and help in binding. I too make a lot of stuff parathas, will try adding Besan once.

      Wow! Why did I never think of this aloo and Palak combo for paratha! Want to have it right away. The besan is a wonderful idea to ease out the process. Yum!
