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. 1

    Boil the potatoes until tender, then peel and mash them with salt, chopped green chilies, coriander, and ground cumin.

  2. 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. 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. 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.
