Spinach Poori Recipe (Palak Ki Poori)

Spinach Poori has recently become one of the favorite breakfasts in my family. I could not be happier, now that I have found yet another recipe to use Spinach. When it comes to green vegetables, I have a policy ‘More is always better’. I am constantly looking out for recipes which use tons of greens. I don’t rate my love for greens as an obsession but, I just can’t resist the temptation of fresh green leafy vegetables.

 

 

While growing up, my mom had a really hard time convincing us to eat the green vegetables, She once made this spinach poori and I just kept asking for more. That is when I realized what great pleasure my taste buds had been missing out on. I haven’t stopped loving spinach poori ever since. 

 

There are several schools of thought when it comes to preparing the spinach for the dough. I prefer blanching spinach in hot water for 5 minutes but sautéing leaves instead of blanching is also an option. Whichever method you choose, you will get tasty spinach poori in the end. Binding dough for any kind of poori is an art. That is the reason you should follow our tutorial on how to make perfect poori. 

Spinach Poori can be served with almost anything you like. But we usually like to serve it with Aloo Ke Gutke, Achaar and Raita for a complete breakfast or lunch.
