Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour sifted
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Spiced Potato Filling

  • 4 medium potatoes boiled and mashed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds toasted
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  2. 2 While the dough rests, prepare the filling by boiling and mashing the potatoes in a separate bowl.
  3. 3 Add toasted cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, amchur, chopped cilantro, and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. 4 Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and flatten each ball slightly. Place a portion of the spiced potato mixture in the center of each flattened dough piece.
  5. 5 Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside. Flatten the stuffed dough balls gently with your hands.
  6. 6 Roll out each ball into a round, flat disc using a rolling pin, ensuring the filling does not spill out.
  7. 7 Heat a pan over medium heat and cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes on each side, applying a small amount of oil until golden brown spots appear.
  8. 8 Serve hot, ideally with yogurt or pickle on the side.
