Paneer & Spinach Paratha

Parathas are a common comfort food in Indian households, and when made with nutritious fillings, they can be a complete meal on their own. This version combines paneer (cottage cheese) with spinach (palak) to make a tasty and nutrient-rich paratha.

Paneer is an excellent source of high-quality protein and calcium, both of which are essential for building strong bones, teeth, and muscles in children. Spinach adds iron, folate, and vitamin C, supporting healthy blood formation and boosting immunity. The soft, mildly spiced filling makes the paratha child-friendly, while its golden, slightly crisp exterior makes it fun to eat.

For children who are picky about eating vegetables, stuffing spinach inside a paratha ensures they consume it without fuss. Paired with a bowl of curd or a light chutney, this paratha is filling, balanced, and packed with essential nutrients that aid growth, energy, and immunity.
