Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or oil
• 3 medium Boiled potatoes
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 tablespoon Chopped green chilies
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Oil

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth and soft dough. Cover and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add cumin seeds, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, green chilies, coriander leaves, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Step 5

Take one dough ball, dust it with flour, and roll it out into a small circle about 4-5 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.

Step 6

Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center of the rolled-out dough.

Step 7

Gather the edges of the dough to the center and pinch them to seal, making sure the filling is completely enclosed.

Step 8

Flatten the stuffed dough ball gently and roll it out again, carefully, into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Be gentle to avoid tearing the dough.

Step 9

Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa.

Step 10

Cook for a minute until bubbles begin to appear, then flip it over.

Step 11

Apply a light drizzle of ghee or oil around the edges and over the surface of the paratha. Cook until golden brown spots appear, then flip it over and repeat the process.

Step 12

Once both sides are cooked and golden, remove the paratha from the tawa.

Step 13

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 14

Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or your favorite curry.
