Laccha Paratha and Saag Paneer

The 'Saag' making started with a funny incident at the Indian store....There were a few different greens and I didn't know the names of all.The store owner told me the name of this green(which I don't remember now) in his language.I asked him what all can you make with this green and he told a few dishes.He saw I still wasn't 'sold'....then he said to me.."Just buy it....why are you thinking....it's a Green vegetable....It won't harm you for sure' and then you don't have to worry about calories either'!!!
I bought the bunch:)

Laccha Paratha

 I had heard about this unique technique of rolling the dough for Laccha Paratha and wanted to try it out myself.
The dough is first rolled out in a circle, then pleated like a paper fan, then rolled like a snail, pressed and then rolled out again. The result is a unique circular layered texture to the parathas!!!

1)I used regular chapati dough to make these. I applied some oil+flour on the inside to get the texture.Ideally you should apply oil/ghee liberally to get more layered texture......but I skimped on it.

2) After all the dough balls were done rolling this way..I let them sit for some time and then rolled them out into parathas.

3) Baked them on hot tava with some oil  and served them with the Saag Paneer!
