Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, mix 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp salt. Gradually add 1/4 cup vegetable oil and 1/2 cup water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Boil 2 medium potatoes until tender. Drain and mash. In a skillet, heat 1 tsp vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1 tsp cumin seeds and 1 tsp coriander seeds, toasting for 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup chopped onion and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 tsp turmeric and 1 tsp salt, then add the mashed potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes until the mixture is dry and crumbly. Let cool.
  3. Step 3: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle. Place a spoonful of potato filling in the center, fold the edges to enclose, and roll again into a circle.
  4. Step 4: Heat a griddle over medium heat. Cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, using a little oil to prevent sticking.
