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:

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