Instructions
making kuttu ka atta dough
- Boil potato till its completely cooked. You can boil the potato in a stovetop pressure cooker or Instant pot or in a pan adding water as needed.
- Peel and mash the potato when still warm. There should not be any chunks in the mashed potato.
- In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, coriander leaves, green chilies and rock salt with the kuttu ka atta.
- Add very little warm water like 1 to 2 tablespoons and begin to knead.
- Keep on adding little warm water in parts and knead till a dough forms and it stays together. Overall you can use 3 to 4 tablespoons of warm water.
- Don't make too smooth or too moist as you won't be able to roll the parathas.
rolling kuttu ka paratha
- On a moist cloth, sprinkle some flour lightly.
- Take a medium sized ball and place on the cloth.
- Fold the cloth and roll the ball with a rolling pin.
- Pick up the folded napkin together with the dough gently and roll so you get a round shaped paratha.
- While making rotis, you roll it slightly thin and for making parathas you can roll slightly thick. You can use a zip lock bag or a banana leaf also to roll these parathas.

- Heat skillet or griddle or tava.
- Place the roti or paratha side on your right palm and gently remove the cloth/napkin from the other side.

- When one side is partly cooked, flip and let the other side cook.
- Spread ½ teaspoon ghee or oil on top and then flip again.
