A healthy way to incorporate Greens into your diet is to grind it and mix with with atta/whole wheat flour and make parathas or puris out of it, which is a staple in most Indian homes.

Most kids love puris and parathas so why not sneak in some vegetables and make it healthy as well. The puris are so crisp and tasty that you would never guess that they are actually good for you!

I made Tirangi/Tricolor Puris with beet and spinach for color for the first time this Holi. They turned out so healthy and colorful!

Since then I have made just spinach/palak ki puris as well as Beet ki puris. Both turned out delicious.I also made Shyam Savera puris with spinach dough on one side and plain dough on the other!

Moving on to the recipe, here is the written recipe followed by step by step pictorial one-
