Ingredients
  • For Dough:
  • Whole Wheat Flour - 1 1/2 cups style
  • Salt - 1/4 tsp Oil - 3 tsp style
  • Water - 1/2 cup
  • Dry Flour in a plate - for rolling style
  • For Filling:
  • Potatoes - 2 large, boiled and peeled
  • Onion - 1/2 small, finely chopped
  • Chaat Masala - 1 tsp
  • Red Chili Powder - 1/4 tsp or to taste
  • Salt - 1/2 tsp or to taste
  • Cilantro - 5 sprigs, finely chopped
  • Spray Cooking Oil - for pan frying
Directions
  • Prepare dough according to Paratha/Chapatti recipe/video from ShowMeTheCurry.com and keep aside.
  • Mash or grate boiled Potatoes. Grating prevents lumps.
  • In a medium sized bowl, add Potatoes with remaining filling ingredients and mix well.
  • Keep a tava or skillet on the stove at medium to medium high.
  • Divide dough into equal size balls (approximately 8).
  • Divide Filling into equal size balls (approximately 8).
  • Roll out one dough ball into a 3-4 ” disk.
  • Place a Filling ball on the center of the disk and fold the dough around the Filling ball, completely enclosing it.
  • Pinch the dough ends together.
  • Flatten the stuffed ball and dip it into the dry flour on both sides.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll out the stuffed ball into a tortilla shaped disk. The paratha should not be too thin.
  • Place the rolled paratha on the heated skillet and cook until bubbles start to appear.
  • Start to roll the next paratha while one is cooking to get a process in place. This is a great time saver.
  • Once bubbles appear, flip the paratha over and lightly spray it with cooking oil.
  • Allow this side to cook for 30 seconds and flip it over once more. Again, lightly spray with cooking oil.
  • Keep flipping and cooking the paratha until the look of raw dough is gone and it looks completely cooked.
  • It should have light golden/brown spots.
  • Keep the paratha in a covered or insulated container and repeat process for remaining parathas.
  • Serves 4.
