Healthy Palak Poori Recipe for Kids

Here's a nutritious and kid-friendly Healthy Palak Poori recipe for kids that's perfect for introducing more greens into your child's meals.
Course: Breakfast / Dinner / Tiffin Box, Breakfast Lunch Box recipe
Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups wheat flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 cup spinach leaves (palak), washed and drained
  • 2 tbsp coriander leaves (optional, for added flavor
  • 1-2 green chillies
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Water (as needed for kneading)
  • Oil for deep frying

Method
 

  1. In a blender, combine the spinach leaves, coriander leaves, green chillies (if using), and a little water to make a smooth paste.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the wheat flour, salt, cumin seeds, and the prepared spinach paste. Mix well.
  3. Gradually add water as needed and knead to form a smooth, pliable dough. The dough should be firm but not too tight. Cover and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into small, lemon-sized balls.
  5. Dust each ball lightly with flour and roll them out into small circles, approximately 3-4 inches in thickness
  6. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; if it rises to the surface immediately, the oil is hot enough.
  7. Slide one rolled-out poori into the hot oil gently. Press it lightly with a slotted spoon. The poori should puff up.
  8. Flip it over and fry the other side until golden brown.
  9. Remove the poori from the oil and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
