For Cooking:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

1. In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour and salt.
2. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
3. Add oil or ghee and knead again for 2-3 minutes.
4. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Potato Filling:

1. In a mixing bowl, add mashed potatoes.
2. Mix in green chilies, ginger, coriander leaves, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin seeds, dry mango powder, and salt.
3. Combine well to make a smooth, lump-free filling.

3. Stuff and Roll the Parathas:

1. Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and the potato filling into slightly smaller balls.
2. Roll out a dough ball into a small disc.
3. Place a potato filling ball in the center, gather the edges of the dough to seal the filling, and pinch to close.
4. Flatten slightly and gently roll out into a round paratha (about 6-8 inches), ensuring the filling doesn’t spill out.

4. Cook the Parathas:

1. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat.
2. Place the rolled paratha on the hot tawa and cook until small bubbles appear.
3. Flip and spread ghee or butter on the cooked side.
4. Flip again and spread ghee on the other side. Press lightly with a spatula for even cooking.
5. Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides.

5. Serve:

• Serve hot with yogurt, pickles, or a dollop of butter on top.

Tips:

• To avoid the filling spilling out, ensure the potato mixture is dry and smooth.
• Roll gently to prevent tearing.
• You can add grated cheese, paneer, or chopped onions to the filling for variations.
