1

Heat 3 tablespoons of mustard oil in a pan.

2

Add 2 chopped onions and sauté for about 1 minute until they soften.

3

Add 3-4 chopped green chilies and sauté with the onions.

4

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste, 1/2 teaspoon garlic paste, and less than 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder, mixing well.

5

Add 2 boiled and mashed potatoes to the pan and mix thoroughly with the spices.

6

Incorporate 1/2 teaspoon roasted spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, along with less than 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, mixing everything well together.

7

Transfer the potato mixture to a plate and set aside.

8

In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt, along with 1 tablespoon of white oil.

9

Mix the dry ingredients by hand for about 1-2 minutes.

10

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, a little at a time, until a smooth dough forms.

11

Knead the dough until it is soft and pliable, then shape it into a log and cut it into equal portions.

12

Flatten each portion slightly and roll it into a ball.

13

Dust with flour and roll out each ball into a larger disc using a rolling pin.

14

Spread a small amount of oil on the surface of the rolled dough to keep it soft.

15

Fold the rolled dough in half, then again in half to form a triangle, and set aside for resting (optional).

16

Roll out the triangle into a larger disc again, ensuring it remains soft.

17

Place the potato filling on one half of the disc and fold the other half over to cover the filling, sealing the edges tightly.

18

Heat oil in a pan and fry the stuffed paratha, flipping it to ensure both sides are golden brown.

19

Fry each side for about 2 minutes until nicely colored, adding more oil as needed during cooking.
