Navalkol palyacha paratha - ( Kholrabi leaves paratha )

Known as Navalkol in hindi and marathi and as Kholrabi in english is a type of turnip . It can be cooked in various ways .

Navalkol sabji tastes very delicious . 

Navalkol slices smeared with selected spices and shallow fried also taste very yummy . 

The leaves of this turnip can also be cooked as sabji . 

But most of the people who don't like leafy vegetables much tend to throw these leaves which are actually very rich in vitamins and minerals . 

So today I tried making parathas of these leaves instead of sabji which turned out very tasty . 

Even kids will enjoy these parathas in their tiffins .

Ingredients - 

2 cups - navalkol leaves ( washed and chopped fine ) 

2 /3 cups - wheat flour 

1 tbsp - ginger chilly paste 

1 tsp - cumin coriander powder 

1tsp - amchur ( dry mango powder ) 

1/2 tsp - turmeric powder 

1 tbsp oil 

salt as per taste . 

Method - 

In a vessel take the chopped leaves . 

Add to it all the masalas , salt and mix well . 

Now add the wheat flour and knead a soft yet firm dough . 

Add water while kneading only if needed as the water in leaves is usually enough for kneading . 

Keep aside for 10 minutes . 

Roll medium sized parathas thick or thin as per your liking . 

Serve hot smeared with ghee and with pickle and curd . 

These parathas can even be gived to kids and adults in tifiin .
