Spinach plantain pastry from parathas
About:
Spinach plantain and cheese pastry is made by stuffing the frozen parathas with sauted spinach plantain filling topped with cheese. I used plantain as a variation and its taste was similar to potatoes. Here I used white sauce for the moist filling and this made me reduce the cheese quantity. I used less oil to to saute and grated low fat cheese. The white sauce is made with low fat milk and whole wheat flour to make this cream free.
This is great for evening snack and as a party appetizers.
