Ingredients

• 250 g all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1.5 tbsp sugar
• 125 ml warm water
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 egg (optional)
• 300 g potato curry filling

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the warm water and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.

Step 5

Coat each dough ball lightly with the remaining vegetable oil. Place them in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let them rest for at least 30 minutes to relax the gluten.

Step 6

Heat up the potato curry filling, ensuring it is well-cooked and thick enough to use as a filling.

Step 7

To shape the prata, flatten a dough ball with your hands, then stretch and flip it on an oiled surface using your fingers until it's thin and nearly transparent.

Step 8

Place about 75g of potato curry filling in the center of the stretched dough. If using, crack an egg over the filling.

Step 9

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to seal it completely, creating a parcel.

Step 10

Heat a tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 11

Place the prepared prata bomb in the pan, seam side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 12

Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are evenly browned.

Step 13

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls and filling.

Step 14

Serve hot, ideally with curry sauce or your favorite chutney.
