Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cups Water
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 2 medium, boiled and peeled Potatoes
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 3 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Amchur (dry mango) powder
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add water to form a soft dough. Knead well for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in another bowl, mash the boiled potatoes. Add chopped onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, garam masala, red chili powder, cumin seeds, amchur powder, and the remaining half teaspoon salt. Mix well to combine the ingredients for the filling.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls. Dust a rolling surface with some flour and roll out one ball into a small circle of about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Place a generous tablespoon of the potato-onion mixture in the center of the dough circle. Gather the edges of the circle together, pinching them to seal, enclosing the filling completely.

Step 5

Flatten the filled dough ball gently and roll it out gently into a larger circle of about 6-7 inches, ensuring the filling does not spill out. Repeat for the remaining dough balls and filling.

Step 6

Heat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled paratha on it. Cook until brown spots appear on the lower side, then flip it.

Step 7

Apply a little ghee or butter on the top, and cook the other side until golden brown spots appear. Flip it again, applying ghee or butter on this side as well.

Step 8

Cook each side for about 2 to 3 minutes until the paratha is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the tawa and keep warm under a clean kitchen towel.

Step 9

Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
