Ingredients
- 300 g plain flour plus extra for dusting
- 200 g potatoes boiled and mashed
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 green chilli finely chopped
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- salt to taste
- Coriander chopped
- ghee for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chilli, cumin seeds, garam masala, turmeric powder, chilli powder, salt, and fresh coriander leaves. Set aside.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly and dust with flour.
- Take one flattened dough ball and roll it out into a small circle. Place a portion of the potato mixture in the centre.
- Gather the edges of the dough to enclose the filling and pinch to seal. Flatten the filled dough ball slightly.
- Dust the filled dough ball with flour and roll it out gently into a flatbread, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
- Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Place the rolled-out paratha onto the hot pan.
- Cook the paratha on one side until bubbles start to appear, then flip it over.
- Spread some ghee or oil on the cooked side and flip again. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and filling.
- Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
