Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Boiled and mashed potatoes - 100 grams
• Finely chopped spinach - 50 grams
• Grated carrot - 50 grams
• Chopped onion - 50 grams
• Chopped green chili - 1 small
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Water - as needed
• Oil or ghee - for cooking

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt and enough water to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. In another bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped spinach, grated carrot, chopped onion, chopped green chili, cumin powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to form the stuffing.
3. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Take one ball, flatten it slightly, and make a small indentation in the center.
4. Place a portion of the vegetable stuffing in the indentation, then gather the edges of the dough to seal the stuffing inside. Roll it gently into a flat round paratha.
5. Heat a tava or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled paratha on the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, applying oil or ghee until both sides are golden brown.
6. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and stuffing. Serve hot with yogurt or pickle.
