Ingredients:
• For dough:
• 1.5 cups – whole Wheat flour
• 1/4 tsp – salt
• 3 tsp – oil
• 1/2 cup – water
• Dry flour in a plate for rolling
• For filling:
• 2 – potatoes, large, boiled and peeled
• 1/2 – onion, small, finely chopped
• 1 tsp – chaat masala
• 1/4 tsp – Red Chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp – salt to taste
• 5 sprigs – cilantro, finely chopped
• Cooking oil for frying
Method:
- Prepare dough and keep aside.
- Mash or grate boiled potatoes.
- In a medium sized bowl, add potatoes with remaining filling ingredients and mix well.
- Keep a tava or skillet on the stove at medium to high flame.
- Divide dough into equal size balls.
- Divide filling into equal size balls.
- Roll out one dough ball into a 3-4 disk.
- Place a filling ball on the centre of the disk and fold the dough around the filling ball, completely enclosing it. Pinch the dough ends together.
- Flatten the stuffed ball and dip it into the dry flour on both sides.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the stuffed ball into a tortilla shaped disk. The paratha should not be too thin.
- Place the rolled paratha on the heated skillet and cook until bubbles start to appear.
- Start to roll the next paratha while one is cooking to get a process in place. This is a great time saver.
- Once bubbles appear, flip the paratha over and lightly spray it with cooking oil.
- Allow the other side to cook for 30 seconds and flip it over once more.
- Again, lightly spray with cooking oil.
- Keep flipping and cooking the paratha until the look of raw dough is gone and it looks completely cooked.
- It should have light golden brown spots.
