How To Make:

The Dough

1. Knead the flour with water to make a smooth dough. Cover it and keep aside.

The Filling

Heat oil in a kadai.

Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.

Add onions and sauté until it becomes golden brown.

Add red chili powder and give a quick stir.

Add mashed potatoes and paneer. Cook for a minute or two.

Add coriander leaves and mix well.

Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate and cool.

How to Proceed:

Divide the dough into 10 equal sized balls.

Take one ball and dip in whole wheat flour. Roll out into a thick circle.

Divide the panner aloo mixture into 10 equal portions.

Place one portion at the center of the circle and enfold and seal the circle like an envelope.

Dip the ball into the flour again and roll out gently into a thick circle.

Brush a griddle with a little oil and heat it on high flame.

Lower the heat to medium to high.

Place the paratha on the tawa and cook until the bottom portion gets brown spots. Keep turning the paratha, pressing the edges with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Apply a little clarified butter or oil on the top and flip over.

Cook for 2 more minutes or until that side gets brown spots.

Serve hot with curd and mint garlic chutney.
