Spinach Spring onion paratha

As per me Spring Onions take part only in Chinese cuisines.  But then it came into the idea of making parathas when the onion rates were exceedingly high.

And finally I added these spring onions instead of onions in my process of making palak parathas. And to my wonder it tasted more than the normal ones we make.

Now this recipe has taken a place in my cook book.

Serves  6-8 parathas

Prep time   10 mins

Cooking time 20 mins

For making Dough

6- 8  Spring Onions (cleaned and chopped finely)

3 cups Cleaned n chopped spinach (palak) 

3-4 pcs of sambar onion
