Ingredients

• 2 cups Cassava flour
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 cup Spinach, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 Green chili, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine cassava flour, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly throughout the flour.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped spinach, grated carrot, and green chili (if using) to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Slowly add water to the mixture, mixing continuously with your hands to form a dough. You may not need all the water or you may need a little more, depending on the texture. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky.

Step 4

Once the dough comes together, add the melted coconut oil and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

Lightly dust a clean surface with a bit of cassava flour. Roll each dough ball into a flat, round disc, about 6 inches in diameter. Use a rolling pin for uniform thickness.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat. Once hot, place one rolled-out paratha onto the skillet.

Step 8

Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until you see bubbles starting to form and the edges begin to turn golden brown.

Step 9

Flip the paratha and cook for another 2 minutes until both sides are cooked through and have golden-brown spots.

Step 10

Remove the paratha from the skillet and keep it warm under a kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 11

Serve warm with a Whole30 compliant dip or curry of your choice.
