Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat yogurt (optional)
• 1 cup Boiled and mashed potatoes
• 0.5 cup Chopped spinach
• 0.5 cup Grated carrot
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Oil (for cooking, preferably olive or avocado oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water (and yogurt, if using), kneading into a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2

In another bowl, prepare the stuffing by mixing mashed potatoes, chopped spinach, grated carrot, ground cumin, chili powder, garam masala, and chopped cilantro. Adjust salt to taste.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Do the same with the stuffing mixture, creating 8 smaller balls.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface. Take a dough ball and roll it into a disc about 4 inches in diameter. Place one ball of stuffing in the center and gently fold the dough around it, sealing the edges.

Step 5

Flatten the stuffed ball slightly and roll it out gently into a 6-7 inch circle, ensuring the stuffing stays evenly distributed.

Step 6

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a small drop of oil using a paper towel.

Step 7

Place the rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear. Flip it over and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula for even cooking.

Step 8

Cook both sides until golden brown spots form. Repeat for all the remaining dough and stuffing balls.

Step 9

Serve hot with a side of low-fat yogurt or pickles for an even healthier accompaniment.
