"Palak waali Makki ki Roti" / Maize n Spinach Indian Bread

"Makki ki Roti" with "Sarson ka saag" is a very famous Punjabi meal.
"Makki ki roti" is nothing but rotis or Indian bread made from Maize (Corn) flour.
The flour is naturally rich in dietary fibre, antioxidants, vitamin B, omega 6 unsaturated fat and vegetable proteins. It is also rich in magnesium.
This Corn flour is used in Indian cuisine mainly to make rotis/Indian bread.
It is also extensively used in Mexican cuisine to make Mexican Tortillas, Tacos and Nachos.
These rotis are easy to make and also very filling, eating 1 of these rotis is equivalent to eating 3 wheat rotis of the same size.
The "Makki ki Roti" is normally made plain, and then served with lot of butter, but this version of adding Spinach/Palak I learnt from my Punjabi friend's mother who makes this everytime we visit them.
And when served with lots of butter, its tastes all the more delicious..!
