Preparation
Preparing the Dough
Combine flour and salt
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
Add oil
Add oil and mix until crumbly.
Knead dough
Gradually add water, kneading to form a smooth and pliable dough. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
Making the Potato Filling
Heat cumin seeds
Heat a pan and add cumin seeds until they sizzle.
Mix spices and potatoes
Add mashed potatoes, turmeric, coriander, chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add herbs and cool
Stir in cilantro and green chili. Allow to cool before forming small balls.
Be sure to cool the potato mixture completely before filling to prevent breaking the dough. You can adjust the spice levels to suit your taste.
Cooking Process
Rolling the Paratha
Divide the dough into equal portions, roll each into a small ball, flatten a ball, place a potato mixture ball in the center, and seal the edges.
Flattening the Paratha
Gently roll the stuffed dough into a thick circle, ensuring even thickness and minimal filling exposure.
Frying the Paratha
Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat, then cook rolled parathas, adding ghee or oil, until golden brown on both sides.
