Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) whole wheat flour (atta)
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 tbsp (15ml) oil or melted ghee
- 3/4 cup (180ml) warm water
- 3 medium (450g) russet potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 1 tsp (5g) ginger-green chili paste
- 1 tsp (5g) cumin powder
- 1 tsp (5g) coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp (2g) red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp (2g) garam masala
- 1 tsp (5g) amchur
- 1/4 cup (10g) fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
Instructions:
- Mash the boiled potatoes until completely smooth to ensure no lumps cause tears in the dough.
- Stir in the ginger-chili paste, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, amchur, salt, and cilantro until the filling is a uniform paste.
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
- Gradually add oil and warm water to the flour, kneading for 3–5 minutes until the dough is smooth and tacky.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into lemon-sized balls and flatten each into a 3-inch circle.
- Place a tablespoon of the potato mixture in the center of the dough circle, pleat the edges, and pinch closed to seal the stuffing.
- Gently press the ball flat with your palm and roll it out into a 6-7 inch circle using light pressure.
- Place the rolled paratha on a medium-hot skillet and cook for 30 seconds until tiny bubbles appear.
- Flip the paratha, apply 1/2 tsp of ghee or oil, and continue flipping and pressing with a spatula until both sides are mahogany-colored.
