Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour atta
  • 3 potatoes medium sized, boiled, peeled, and mashed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon coriander powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro optional
  • Water as needed for kneading
  • 2 tbsp Ghee or oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Knead the Dough

  • In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt.
  • Slowly add water and knead until you get a soft, pliable dough.
  • Lightly coat the dough with oil or ghee, cover, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Prepare the Mashed Potato Filling

  • In another bowl, mash the boiled potatoes.
  • Mix in cumin powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, and chopped cilantro (if using).
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, ensuring the mashed potatoes are flavorful.

Assemble the Flatbread

  • Divide the dough into 6–8 equal balls.
  • Take one ball and roll it into a small circle (about 4 inches in diameter).
  • Place a spoonful of the spiced mashed potato filling in the center.
  • Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them to seal. Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball.

Roll It Out

  • Dust a rolling surface with a little flour.
  • Carefully roll the stuffed dough ball into a 5–7 inch circle, making sure the filling stays inside.

Cook the Flatbread

  • Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.
  • Place the rolled flatbread on the hot surface. Cook for about 30 seconds, then flip.
  • Spread a little ghee or oil on the top side. Flip again and apply more ghee or oil.
  • Cook until both sides are golden brown and lightly crispy while staying soft inside.
