Ingredients Serving: 6

1/4 teaspoon ajwain
1 cup mashed potatoes
1/4 teaspoon amchur
1 green chili, finely chopped
3-4 teaspoons oil
1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
salt to taste
1.5 cups atta
1 teaspoon oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
water, to knead the dough

Instructions

In a bowl mix together whole wheat flour (atta), oil and salt. Add water little by little and mix. Knead to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes. Divide the dough into 4-6 equal parts.
To make the filling, mash the boiled potatoes and transfer to a bowl. Add chopped cilantro, salt, ajwain, chopped green chili, cumin powder, chat masala, garam masala powder, amchur and red chili powder.
Mix till everything is well combined. The stuffing is now ready.
Take one of the dough balls and using your rolling pin roll it into a circle. Apply little oil (optional) all over the rolled dough.
Place 2-3 tablespoons of stuffing in the center. Don't overfill else it will be difficult to roll. Bring all the edges together and pinch to seal the edges.
Flatten the dough ball using your hands. Now using your rolling pin, roll the dough to a circle.
Transfer the rolled paratha onto the hot tawa. Cook the side for a minute or two and then flip over. Apply oil on the half-cooked side and flip again.
Now apply oil on the other side as well. Press with a spatula and cook the paratha till both sides have golden brown spots on them.
