    Season the filling

    Mix the mashed potatoes with the coriander, green chillies, red chilli powder, ajwain, cumin and lemon juice until the seasoning is evenly distributed.

  4. 04

    Fill and shape the flatbreads

    Divide the dough into portions and shape them into balls. Roll each into a disc, place a portion of the filling in the centre and fold the dough around it to seal. Flatten gently and roll again into a flatbread.

  5. 05

    Cook in the pan

    Heat a pan and cook the flatbreads in batches. Brush them with the remaining ghee and turn them so they brown on both sides. Serve hot.
