Method

  1. 01

    Boil the potatoes

    Boil the potatoes whole and unpeeled until completely tender, about 20–25 minutes. Drain, peel while still hot, and mash until no large pieces remain. Let the mash cool before mixing the filling.

  2. 02

    Make and rest the dough

    Mix the whole-wheat flour with the salt and 1 tablespoon of ghee. Gradually add the lukewarm water and knead for 7–8 minutes, until the dough is soft and slightly tacky but manageable. Cover and rest it for 20 minutes.

  3. 03

    Season the filling

    Mix the cooled potato with the coriander, green chillies, red chilli powder, ajwain, cumin, and lemon juice. Distribute the seasonings evenly, mashing any remaining potato lumps.

  4. 04

    Fill and shape the parathas

    Divide the dough and filling into 8 portions. Roll out each portion of dough, place one portion of filling in the center, and fold the dough around it to seal. Flatten gently and roll into a disc, keeping the filling covered.

  5. 05

    Cook on the griddle

    Heat a griddle or frying pan. Cook the discs with the remaining ghee, turning them over so both sides brown and the outside becomes crisp. As a guide, the first side takes about 50 seconds and the second about 1 minute; keep turning them if needed to brown them evenly.
