Preparation of Filling

  • Peel and boil the potatoes until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
  • Mash the potatoes and mix in cumin seeds, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt.

Making the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt.
  • Slowly add water, mixing until a soft dough is formed.
  • Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  • Wrap in a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Forming the Parathas

  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a small circle.
  • Place a tablespoon of the potato filling in the center and fold the edges to seal.

Cooking the Parathas

  • Heat a tava or frying pan over medium heat.
  • Roll each stuffed ball into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter.
  • Cook each paratha for about 2-3 minutes on each side, applying ghee or oil until golden-brown.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with spices, and for a vegan twist, swap ghee with coconut oil. Leftover parathas can be reheated in the tava or microwave.
