  • Use water sparingly to bring the dough together.
  • The potato makes the dough sticky,so use 1 tsp oil to apply on dough and bring it together.
  • Let it rest for 15-20 minutes, covered.
  • Make 6 balls/discs. Dip the ball in oil or flour and roll using a rolling pin.
  • Put on a pan, cook one side, flip and cook other side. Make gashes with your spatula to make sure it cooks from the inside. Put ghee/oil on both sides till both sides are browned and cooked.

Notes

The dough is sticky because of the potatoes that are mixed in. Its important to have the potatoes mixed in to keep the parathas soft. I used oil to help me roll, you can place the disc between two sheets of wax/Parchment paper if you choose to.
