Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 2 medium Boiled potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
• 1 piece Green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in another bowl. Add chopped cilantro, green chili, ground cumin, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix together to create the potato filling.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, rolling each into a ball. Also, divide the potato filling into 8 equal parts.

Step 4

Dust a flat surface with a little flour. Roll one portion of the dough into a small disc using a rolling pin.

Step 5

Place one portion of the potato filling in the center of the dough disc. Gently bring the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a pouch.

Step 6

Carefully flatten the pouch, then roll it out into a circle about 6 inches in diameter, being careful not to let the filling burst out.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled parantha onto the skillet.

Step 8

Cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side, until you see bubbles forming or light spots. Flip and lightly brush or spray with olive oil. Cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Continue to cook, flipping every 30 seconds until both sides are golden brown, using as little oil as necessary.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and potato filling.

Step 11

Serve hot with yogurt or a chutney of your choice.
