Ingredients:

Chapathi flour 3 cups
Spinach 1 cup
Beetroot 1 small
Carrot 2
Green chilli 1
Red chilli powder 1.5 sp
Cumin powder 1.5 sp
Garam masala 3 sp
Sesame seeds 3 sp
Oil 1.5 sp
Salt




Method:

 1. Blanch spinach in boiling water for few mins. Alternatively, you can microwave spinach for 2 mins without adding additional water and then cool and grind to a smooth paste by adding one green chilli.
2. Grind carrot into smooth paste by adding 1-2 sp water if required.
3. Also gring beet root into smooth paste by adding 1-2 sp water if required.
4. Take the spinach paste, add salt, 1 sp red chilli powder, 1 so garam masala powder, 1/2 sp cumin 
powder, 1 sp sesame seeds, 1/2 sp oil and add flour that is sufficient for the spinach paste and knead the dough. Adjust the amount of flour accordingly and no need to add additional water.
5. Repeat the process in step 4 for carrot paste and beet root paste also separately.
6. Now we have the 3 colored doughs ready.
7. Take small lemon sized dough from each color, roll it between the palms to make it about 10cm length each.
8. Now keep these 3 colored doughs as a stack and roll them into round shape by closing the edges.
9. Now start rolling the parathas with a rolling pin. You can use rice flour or chapathi flour to sprinkle slightly for the parathas not to get sticky. Make the parathas on the tawa as normal by adding oil or ghee on both sides.
10. Yummy and colorful tri color paratha is ready. Enjoy it with any gravy curry of your choice. We had it with Paneer butter masala.
