Recipe -  


 
For stuffing -
 
Place onion, green chillies, ginger garlic paste, cilentro,  and mint leaves  in a mixer and make a smooth paste.
 
Mash potatoes, add paste, salt and mix with spoon.
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
For cover-
 
Place whole wheat flour in a large mixing bowl , add a pinch of salt and water enough to make a firm dough (same as roti/chapati). Keep it covered for 20-25 minutes.

 
 
 
 
 


Now take 2 small portions of dough , roll out slightly. Place potato stuffing on one of the portions.  Place the other portion on top of the first portion , like sandwich and press the ends tightly . Apply some flour to both sides and roll with a rolling pin to get a circular shape.
 
Place a flat, non-greased griddle on stove over moderate  heat. When hot, place rolled out paratha  and fry both sides applying some butter. Turn sides when light brown.  
 
Serve hot with ketchup, coconut-cilentro chutney and plain yogurt.
