Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 tablespoon green chilies
- 2 tablespoons coriander leaves
- 2 tablespoons ghee or oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- 1
Boil the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them with salt, chopped green chilies, coriander, and ground cumin.
- 2
In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and enough water (about ¼ cup) to form a soft dough; knead for 2 minutes and let rest for 5 minutes.
- 3
Divide the dough into two balls, flatten each ball, place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center, fold the edges over, and gently roll into a 6‑inch circle, being careful not to tear the dough.
- 4
Heat a skillet over medium heat, brush with a little ghee, and cook each paratha for 2‑3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp, adding more ghee as needed.
