Did you feel any difficulty to include vegetables in your
kid’s menu. For me, it is really difficult. If it is
a leafy vegetable, oh no she will never even look into this. So I searched for some
recipes which hides the vegetables and provide all the nutrients.
Here, we will start a new section of our blog, easy lunch
box recipes for kids, focusing mainly on non-spicy or mildly spicy, kids-friendly
vegetarian dishes. It ensures nutrients for kids which they normally hesitate to eat.
Hope, everyone will support me with your suggestions and valuable shares.
Spinach phulka is a very common dish in north India but for malayalees, this might be a new dish. Anyway, We can make so many variations using other vegetables also. Today I am posting another similar recipe, the beetroot phulka. Phulka is the partially cooked chapathi on tawa first then put on flame directly to rise or puff. This is not a difficult process, with experience you
will become an expert within no time.
Today, we will see how to make spinach phulka. Instead of water, we are using vegetable puree to make the dough. This makes it nutritious and attractive. Also, it is very easy to make compared to other stuffed parathas.
Usually, these phulkas are done with palak, but I did with normal green spinach or cheera which is commonly available in Kerala. If palak is available, use that.
