Recipe Name: Suba's Indian Stuffed Flat Bread- Parantha

Ingredients:

2 cups wheat flour

3 medium sized boiled, peeled, and well mashed potatoes

1/2 tsp cumin seeds

Salt to taste

Water to mix

3 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves

2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

Directions:

Put the mashed potatoes, cumin seeds, salt, and chopped fresh coriander into a large mixing bowl. Blend all ingredients well and keep aside.

Put the flour, oil into a large mixing bowl and rub together to form a loose crumbly mix.

Slowly add water and knead well to make a smooth, pliable dough.

Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions and roll them till they are smooth.

Lightly flour a rolling board and roll each ball into a 4'' circle. Take a tablespoon-full of the potato mix and spoon it into the centre of the circle. Carefully bring the edges together to form a pouch. Close the edges and flatten the pouch so its ready to be rolled out.

Roll this pouch into a 7-8" circle. Sometimes, the filling may ooze out (this is quite common when I make it!). You may either put it back into the dough being rolled out or with the potato mix.

Heat a griddle and put a parantha on the griddle. Flip the parantha when the top side shows tiny bubbles on the surface. Now spread a few drops of oil. Flip again in about 30 or 40 seconds and spread oil on this surface too. Both sides will be golden brown when the parantha is done.

Serve with chilled plain yogurt or butter.

Tips:

Whole wheat flour and cumin seeds are both available at Whole Foods.
