Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) whole wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 3/4 cup (180ml) warm water
- 1 tbsp (15ml) vegetable oil
- 3 medium (450g) potatoes, boiled and peeled
- 1/2 tsp (3g) cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 tbsp (3g) fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp (5g) amchur
Instructions:
- Mash the completely cooled boiled potatoes until velvety smooth with no lumps.
- Fold in the cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, and amchur until the filling is a uniform golden hue.
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt, then gradually add warm water and oil.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes until it feels smooth and tacky, not sticky.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes to relax the gluten.
- Divide the rested dough into 16 equal-sized balls.
- Flatten a dough ball into a small disc and place 1 generous tablespoon of potato filling in the center.
- Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the potato filling inside like a dumpling.
- Dust with flour and roll gently from the center outward to create a circle.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa and sear the paratha until mahogany-colored on both sides.
