Ingredients
  • 3 md Potatoes
  • 1/3 cup Butter
  • 2 md Onions, Finely Chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 2 tablespoon Parsley And Mint, Mixed
  • 8 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (for dough)
  • 2 cup Water
  • 3 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 3 tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 to taste Salt (for filling)
Directions
  1. 1
    Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain, peel, and mash them while still warm.
  2. 2
    In a skillet, heat a little butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and ground ginger. Fry until the onions are soft and transparent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. 3
    Stir in the mashed potatoes, mixed parsley and mint, lemon juice, chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well to combine and let the filling cool slightly.
  4. 4
    In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add water while mixing to form a soft, pliable dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  5. 5
    Divide the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball. Divide the potato filling into equal portions.
  6. 6
    On a lightly floured surface, flatten a dough ball and roll it out into a small circle. Place a portion of the potato filling in the center.
  7. 7
    Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal, ensuring no filling escapes. Flatten the sealed ball gently.
  8. 8
    Roll out the stuffed dough ball into a flat circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter, being careful not to tear the dough.
  9. 9
    Heat a heavy griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with butter or oil. Place the paratha on the hot surface.
  10. 10
    Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown spots appear. Flip and cook the other side, pressing down gently with a spatula. Brush with butter if desired. Cook until crisp and evenly golden on both sides.
  11. 11
    Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
