For the dough.:

For the potato filling.:

2 Medium sized potatoes
recipe for : Pinch of salt
½tsp ground cumin
2tblsps chopped coriander
1 green chilli, chopped
½tsp garam masala
you will also require a little extra flour for rolling the dough and some oil for cooking.

To Make the Dough
Sift the flour and mix with the salt and add water to make a soft dough
Knead for a few minutes with your hands to produce a smooth and pliable dough
Set the dough aside covered with a damp cloth to rest
Filling
Peel and boil the potatoes and cook until tender
Mash the potatoes and mix the green chillies, cumin, salt and coriander to the mashed potatoes
To make the Parathas
Divide the dough mixture into 6 equal parts and then divide the potato mixture into 6 equal parts
Roll the dough into circles of about 3 inches in diameter and place a potato ball in the centre
Pull the dough around the potato and seal so that the potato is enclosed by the dough
Repeat to make 6 balls
Let the balls rest for 10-15 minutes Heat a skillet or a solid frying pan, (iron is best)
Dust the balls with flour to make the easier to roll, keep the ball with the sealed side on top when rolling, press down a little then roll into 5-6 inch circles
Put a Paratha into the pan when the pan is hot enough (i e when a drop of water sizzles when dropped onto it)
The Paratha will start to change colour in places and should puff up a little
Spread about 1 tsp oil on the Paratha and flip over
Press the puffed areas with a spatula
Brush with a little more oil and flip again
When the Parathas are golden brown on both sides they are cooked
Cool the Parathas on a rack
Serve with chutneys of your choice, tomato is good or even yoghurt
You could also serve with cheese and tomato on a fold over
