Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or olive)
- 1 cup warm water (more if needed)
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup spicy chutney (store-bought or homemade)
- Oil or ghee for cooking parathas
How to Make Stuffed Paratha with Yogurt and Chutney
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and one tablespoon of oil. Gradually add warm water, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl and mix in cumin seeds, garam masala, chili powder, chopped cilantro, and green chilies. Adjust salt to taste and mix until well combined.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls (about 8). Roll each ball into a small disc, about 4 inches in diameter.
- Place a generous spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each disc. Carefully fold the edges over the filling to create a pocket, sealing it well.
- Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball and roll it out into a larger disc, about 6-8 inches in diameter. Be careful not to let the filling spill out.
- In a skillet or tawa, heat a little oil or ghee over medium heat. Once hot, cook the rolled paratha for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil or ghee as needed.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
- Serve the stuffed parathas hot, accompanied by plain yogurt and spicy chutney.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the dough is well-kneaded for a soft texture. Resting it helps to relax the gluten, making it easier to roll out.
- Adjust the spice levels in the filling according to your preference.
- Use a hot skillet to get a nice crisp on the parathas.
- If the filling is too dry, consider adding a splash of lemon juice for extra flavor.
Easy Variations
- Swap the potato filling for a mix of paneer and spinach for a cheesy twist.
- Add chopped onions or peas to the potato mixture for extra texture and flavor.
- Experiment with different chutneys like mint or tamarind for varying spice levels.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh salad with cucumber and tomatoes.
- Pickled vegetables for an added crunch.
- A side of masoor dal or chana masala for a complete meal.
