Aloo Paratha with Yogurt and Pickle

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and enough water, about 1 cup, to form a smooth, soft dough; knead for 5 minutes, cover, and rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl and mix in the onion, cilantro, green chiles, and remaining salt.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 8 equal balls and the potato filling into 8 portions.

Step 4

Flatten a dough ball into a small disc, place a portion of the potato filling in the center, and gather the edges up to seal, forming a stuffed ball.

Step 5

Roll the stuffed ball out gently on a floured surface into a flat circle about 6 inches across, being careful not to let the filling break through.

Step 6

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and cook each paratha for 2 to 3 minutes per side, brushing with ghee, until golden brown spots appear on both sides.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, keeping cooked parathas warm.

Step 8

Serve hot with plain yogurt on the side, and mango pickle if desired.
