Ingredients
- 2-3 potatoes (boiled)
- 2 green chillies (finely diced)
- 1 clove garlic (finely diced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (finely diced)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 cup coriander leaves (chopped)
- salt
- 2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cooking oil
- water
- butter
Instructions
Step 1
Mash the boiled potatoes and mix all the ingredients for the potato filling well. Keep aside.
Step 2
Mix the salt with the wheat flour. Then add some water to knead it into a smooth dough. If it's your first time, add less water to make the dough a little firmer, as it helps in managing the dough while rolling it. Add oil to the dough and knead well. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes to let the dough set in.
Step 3
Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a lemon). Roll the first ball into a small circle. Place a lemon-sized potato mixture ball in the center of the rolled dough. Seal the potato mixture into the dough by pulling together the edges of the dough to form a dumpling. Lightly press it all together to ensure the potato mixture does not come out.
Step 4
Roll this ball into a flat bread, adding pressure from the center to the sides. Heat a frying pan on medium heat. Put the flat bread on the pan. Lightly grease it with butter. Turn to the other side once one side is cooked, then lightly grease the other side with butter. Once both sides are properly cooked, the paratha is ready!
