2. Add finely cleaned and chopped spinach, salt,turmeric,crushed cumin seeds,3green chillies and close with lid.

3. After 4-5 minutes the spinach will get half cooked.i try to leave moisture so that no need to add water for preparing dough.(don't make it dry.)

4. Take whole wheat flour and mix it with cooked spinach leaves and prepare a soft dough.Let it rest for 15mins.It makes more soft chapathis.

5. Make balls, dip each one into dry whole wheat flour, and roll out into thin circles. 

6. Place a flat, ungreased griddle on the stove at medium-high . When hot, place a rolled-out chapati  on the griddle.  cook until tiny brown spots appear.

• If the dough remains save it in a refrigerator by wrapping it or storing in a air tight container.
