Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp cumin powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup mashed potatoes and 1/4 cup chopped onions to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms. If too dry, add a little water.
  3. Step 3: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
  4. Step 4: On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 6-inch circle. Place a small amount of the remaining onion and cilantro mixture (about 1 tsp) on the center of each circle, then fold the edges to enclose the filling.
  5. Step 5: Roll each stuffed dough into a 6-inch circle again.
  6. Step 6: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place one rolled paratha in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown spots appear.
  7. Step 7: Flip and cook for 2 more minutes, then press gently with a spatula to help it puff. Repeat with remaining parathas.
