Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 medium Boiled potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 optional Green chili, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Gradually add 0.75 cups of water while kneading the flour to form a smooth and pliable dough. Adjust the water quantity as needed.

Step 3

Once the dough is ready, drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over it, knead for another minute, and let it rest, covered, for about 15 minutes.

Step 4

In the meantime, peel and mash the boiled potatoes in another mixing bowl.

Step 5

Finely chop the onion and mix it with the mashed potatoes.

Step 6

Add chopped coriander leaves, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, chopped green chili, and salt to the potato-onion mixture. Mix well to create a uniform stuffing.

Step 7

Divide the dough and the stuffing into equal portions, aiming for about 4 portions of each.

Step 8

Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and place a portion of the stuffing in the center.

Step 9

Gather the edges of the dough, bringing them to the center to seal the stuffing, and gently flatten it with your hand.

Step 10

Using a rolling pin, roll the stuffed dough into a flat circle of approximately 6 inches in diameter, applying gentle pressure to avoid tearing.

Step 11

Preheat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 12

Place the rolled paratha onto the skillet. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form.

Step 13

Flip the paratha and cook on the other side until golden brown spots appear, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 14

Repeat the process for the remaining dough and stuffing portions.

Step 15

Serve the low-fat aloo pyaz parathas hot with yogurt or a side of pickle.
