Moong Dhal and Spinach Paratha


For the third day of mess free lunch box in Blogging Marathon #35 I am sharing a paratha with moong dhal and spinach.This doesn't need any side accompaniment,with simple pickle,curd and ketchup taste good with this one.I make the paratha slightly smaller in size as it fits to my kiddo's lunch box.Off to the recipe...........

  • Instead of spinach,methi leaves or coriander leaves can be used.
  • Here I used the chilly powder,it can be substituted with finely chopped green chilly.
  • When ever I make for my kiddos's lunch box in the morning I soak the moong dhal previous night and keep it in refrigerator.
