1

Make the dough by mixing 1 cup of whole wheat flour and a little all purpose flour with salt and ajwain.

2

Crush ajwain seeds in palms to release flavor.

3

Add 2 tablespoons of melted ghee and mix well with flour.

4

Add warm water little by little and knead until a soft dough forms.

5

Cover the dough with oil to prevent drying and let it rest for 30 minutes to an hour.

6

Toast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and black peppercorns in a pan until fragrant, then grind to a coarse powder.

7

Boil potatoes in a pressure cooker for about 15 minutes until fork tender, then cool to room temperature.

8

Grate the cooled potatoes and mix with salt, roasted spice powder, optional sugar, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander leaves, green chilies, and lemon juice to make the stuffing.

9

Knead the rested dough again and form medium-sized balls.

10

Dust the dough balls with flour and roll them into equal circles.

11

Place about 2 tablespoons of stuffing on one circle, cover with another circle, and seal the edges tightly.

12

Flatten the stuffed dough gently and roll out to about 9.5 inches in diameter, ensuring not to apply too much pressure.

13

Heat a heavy bottomed flat pan (cast iron recommended) and brush with oil.

14

Fry the paratha on medium low heat, flipping after 2 minutes and applying oil on the surface.

15

Continue flipping until brown spots form on both sides and the paratha is cooked through.

16

Serve with whipped Greek yogurt mixed with salt, sugar, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
