Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon oil (plus more for cooking)
- 1 cup water (adjust as needed)
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- Black pepper to taste
How to Make Stuffed Paratha with Spiced Potatoes and Peas
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Gradually add the water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash them in a bowl.
- Add the green peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, chopped cilantro, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. On a floured surface, roll out one ball into a small disc, about 4 inches in diameter.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the potato-pea filling in the center of the disc. Fold the edges over to seal, creating a pouch. Gently flatten the filled dough ball with your fingers.
- Roll out the stuffed dough ball into a larger disc, about 6-7 inches in diameter, being careful not to let the filling spill out.
- Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the paratha for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, adding more oil as needed.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling until all parathas are cooked.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your dough is soft but not sticky; adjust water or flour as necessary.
- Allow the parathas to rest after rolling to help them puff up while cooking.
- Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and flipping.
- Don’t rush the cooking process; let them cook until golden brown for the best flavor.
Easy Variations
- Swap potatoes for sweet potatoes for a sweeter flavor profile.
- Add chopped spinach or other greens to the filling for extra nutrition.
- Experiment with spices like chili powder for heat or amchur (dried mango powder) for tanginess.
What to Serve With It
- A side of yogurt or raita to cool down the spices.
- Pickles for an extra punch of flavor.
- A fresh salad of cucumbers and tomatoes for a refreshing contrast.
