Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.5 cup quinoa flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup water
• 2 medium boiled potatoes
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 0.5 cup paneer, crumbled
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh coriander
• 2 green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 0 as needed ghee or oil for cooking parathas

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, quinoa flour, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in a mixing bowl. Add the chopped onion, crumbled paneer, chopped coriander, green chilies, ginger, cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Mix everything well to form a homogeneous filling.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll them into balls. Also, divide the filling into 8 equal portions.

Step 5

Roll out one portion of the dough into a 4-inch disk. Place one portion of the filling in the center and gather the edges of the dough to seal the filling inside.

Step 6

Gently flatten it slightly with your hands and then roll it out carefully to make a 6-7 inch diameter paratha. Be gentle to prevent the filling from coming out.

Step 7

Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on it and cook for about 2 minutes on one side.

Step 8

Flip the paratha and apply ghee or oil on the cooked side. Flip again and apply ghee or oil on the other side. Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 10

Serve hot with yogurt or pickle.
