Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 1 small Green chili
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango powder)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 4 tablespoons Neutral oil
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the potatoes. Boil them in water until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.
In a bowl, mash the boiled potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.
Finely chop the green chili and grate the ginger. Add them to the mashed potatoes along with ground cumin, garam masala, coriander powder, amchur, salt (1/2 teaspoon), and chopped fresh cilantro. Mix well to create the potato filling.
In another large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt (1/2 teaspoon). Gradually add water while mixing with your hand to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for about 5-6 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Similarly, divide the potato filling into 8 portions.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one ball of dough into a small circle (about 4 inches in diameter). Place one portion of the potato filling in the center.
Bring the edges of the dough together to enclose the filling completely. Pinch the edges to seal and remove any excess dough.
Flatten the filled dough ball gently and roll it out again to about 6-7 inches in diameter, making sure the filling doesn't spill out.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled paratha on the skillet.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip and apply a drizzle of oil around the edges.
Press the paratha gently with a spatula to cook the other side evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Serve hot with vegan yogurt or pickles.
