HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes, then cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

02

In another bowl, combine mashed potatoes, thawed peas, ground cumin, garam masala, turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well to combine the filling.

03

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small disc, about 3-4 inches in diameter.

04

Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the potato-pea filling in the center of each dough disc. Bring the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside, forming a ball.

05

Gently flatten each filled ball and roll it out into a 6-7 inch round flatbread, dusting with a little flour if needed to prevent sticking.

06

Heat a griddle or a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the pan with vegetable oil.

07

Cook each paratha for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and it is cooked through. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

08

Brush with a little more oil while cooking if desired for extra crispness.
