• 2 cups Whole wheat flour (Atta)
• 3 medium Potatoes, boiled and peeled
• 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 0.5 tsp Garam masala

• 1 tsp Salt
• 4 tbsp Ghee or Oil

1. 1

   In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and water; knead into a soft, smooth dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, mash the boiled potatoes thoroughly ensuring there are no large lumps.

3. 3

   Add green chilies, ginger, coriander, garam masala, amchur, ajwain, and salt to the mashed potatoes; mix well to create the filling.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and roll one ball into a 4-inch circle.

5. 5

   Place a portion of the potato filling in the center, bring the edges together to seal it, and flatten it gently.

6. 6

   Dust with flour and roll the stuffed ball into a 7-8 inch diameter circle, being careful not to tear the dough.

7. 7

   Heat a tawa or griddle and cook the paratha on medium heat until brown spots appear on both sides.

8. 8

   Apply ghee or oil on both sides and press gently with a spatula until the paratha is golden brown and crisp.
