Method

  1. 01

    Make the dough

    Mix the whole-wheat atta flour, all-purpose flour and salt for the dough. Gradually add the warm water and knead until combined; work in the oil for the dough and continue kneading until soft and slightly sticky, about 5–7 minutes in total.

    Make the filling

    Boil the potatoes until soft, then mash them. Mix in the ground turmeric, cayenne, ground roasted cumin-coriander blend, garam masala, crushed chilli flakes, chaat masala, salt for the filling, lime juice, garlic paste, chopped green chillies and chopped fresh cilantro.

  4. 04

    Fill and shape the parathas

    Divide the dough and filling into 6 portions. Using a little flour for dusting, roll each dough portion into a circle, place a portion of filling in the center, bring the dough around it and seal, then flatten gently. Dust with a little more flour and carefully roll each piece into a large disc, taking care not to tear it.

  5. 05

    Cook on the griddle

    Heat a griddle or pan over medium heat. Cook each paratha until bubbles appear, about 30 seconds; flip it, add oil for cooking around the edges and cook for another 30 seconds. Keep turning and cooking until both sides are golden and crisp.
