Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat yogurt (optional)
- 1 cup Boiled and mashed potatoes
- 0.5 cup Chopped spinach
- 0.5 cup Grated carrot
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Oil (for cooking, preferably olive or avocado oil)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water (and yogurt, if using), kneading into a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
In another bowl, prepare the stuffing by mixing mashed potatoes, chopped spinach, grated carrot, ground cumin, chili powder, garam masala, and chopped cilantro. Adjust salt to taste.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Do the same with the stuffing mixture, creating 8 smaller balls.
Lightly flour a clean surface. Take a dough ball and roll it into a disc about 4 inches in diameter. Place one ball of stuffing in the center and gently fold the dough around it, sealing the edges.
Flatten the stuffed ball slightly and roll it out gently into a 6-7 inch circle, ensuring the stuffing stays evenly distributed.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a small drop of oil using a paper towel.
Place the rolled paratha on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles appear. Flip it over and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Cook both sides until golden brown spots form. Repeat for all the remaining dough and stuffing balls.
Serve hot with a side of low-fat yogurt or pickles for an even healthier accompaniment.
