Ingredients

Method

  1. Step 1

    Knead the flour with a little salt into a soft dough and rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Mash the potatoes completely smooth, then mix in the onion, green chilli, coriander, salt, red chilli and anardana.

  3. Step 3

    Make 4 dough balls and 4 equal potato balls.

  4. Step 4

    Roll each dough ball to palm size, place a potato ball in the middle and seal the edges.

  5. Step 5

    Dust with flour and gently roll out round. Don't press hard or the filling will burst out.

  6. Step 6

    Cook on a hot tawa on both sides, then add ghee and cook until golden. Serve with yogurt, butter or pickle.

Chef's Tips

  • Lumpy potato makes the paratha tear, so mash it completely smooth.
  • Don't add too much onion; its moisture makes the paratha soggy.

Storage

Cooked parathas keep 1 day in foil; uncooked ones freeze for 2 weeks.
