Method

  1. 01

    Mix the whole-wheat flour, salt for the dough, and ghee for the dough. Gradually add the water and knead until the dough is soft and smooth. Cover it and let it rest for 20 minutes.

    Prepare the filling

    Boil the potatoes until tender; peel and mash them until no lumps remain. Let them cool. Mix in the green chili, salt for the filling, red chili powder, ground turmeric, ground cumin, garam masala, and fresh cilantro.

  3. 03

    Fill and shape

    Divide the dough and filling into four portions. Roll each portion of dough into a small disc, place a portion of potato in the center, bring up the edges, and seal them. Carefully roll each filled piece into a round paratha, taking care not to puncture the dough.

  4. 04

    Cook the parathas

    Heat a griddle or skillet. Cook each paratha until bubbles appear; flip it and spread ghee over the cooked side. Cook until the underside is golden, flip again, and spread ghee over the other side. Finish cooking, turning as needed.
