Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Knead flour with water to a soft dough; cover and rest. Mash potatoes completely and mix with spices, cilantro, and salt.

  2. 02

    Divide dough and filling into eight portions. Enclose each potato portion inside a dough round and seal carefully.

  3. 03

    Roll gently, avoiding tears. Cook on a hot skillet with a little ghee, turning until both sides are browned and cooked.

THE CURRY TABLE TOUCH · OPTIONAL VARIATION

A mint filling

Add: 1 tbsp mint leaves, finely chopped

Mix into the cooled potato filling before shaping the parathas. Dry the leaves well so the filling does not become wet.

A suggested variation. Try a small portion first; the planner uses the main recipe only.
