Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Ghee or oil
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 1 medium Green chili
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (Ajwain)
- (as needed) Oil or ghee for cooking
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water to form a smooth and pliable dough. Cover the dough and set aside for 20 minutes.
Boil the potatoes until tender. Peel and mash them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the green chili and ginger, and add them to the mashed potatoes.
Add chopped cilantro, cumin seeds, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and carom seeds to the potato mixture. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal parts and roll each part into a ball.
Take one dough ball and roll it into a small disc. Place a portion of the potato filling in the center of the disc.
Bring the edges of the disc together to enclose the filling and seal it completely. Flatten it gently with your fingers.
Lightly flour your working surface and roll the sealed dough into a 6-8 inch diameter circle using a rolling pin. Be gentle to prevent the filling from coming out.
Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the tawa.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until you see small bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the paratha and apply a little oil or ghee to the cooked side.
Flip again and apply oil or ghee to the other side. Press gently on the paratha with a spatula for even cooking.
Cook until both sides are golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Serve hot potato parathas with yogurt, pickle, or chutney of your choice.
