1:-))) Add salt to the atta, combine, slowly add water to form a soft yet
slightly firm dough. Cover with damp cloth and let it rest for 10 mts.
Get the stuffing ready in the mean time.

2:-))) Prepare stuffing by combining mashed potato, green chili paste,
coriander leaves, coriander pwd, turmeric pwd, cumin pwd, amchur and
pinch of salt and combine.

3:-))) Pinch a large lemon sized ball of dough and roll to form a 3″ diameter
circle. Place some stuffing and take the edges of the dough and cover the stuffing.
Prepare with rest of dough.

4:-))) Dust the working surface with some atta and roll out the stuffed dough
to form 6″-7″ diameter circles.

5;))) Heat a iron tawa and once its hot, place a paratha and let it cook for 15 secs.
Flip the paratha and let it cook for a few more secs. Once light brown
spots appear, drizzle some oil or ghee and roast to a golden shade on both
sides. Use a spatula to press the puffed areas as the paratha gets roasted.

6:-))) Serve hot with any curry of your choice or yogurt or raita.
