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

  1. 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.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash them in a bowl.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover parathas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through or in a microwave for a quick option.
