Ingredients

• Dough
• 2 1/2 cup (375 gram) all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• Filling
• 1 1/2 cup mashed potato (about 350-400 gram potato)
• 1/4 cup shallot, sliced
• 2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
• 4 tablespoon scallion, sliced
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
• 1/2 inch ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon garam masala
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• Raita (optional)
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup diced cucumber
• 2 tablespoon sliced scallions
• 1-2 tablespoon sliced cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

Instructions

1. To make the dough, knead all purpose flour, salt, and water in into a soft, smooth, and elastic dough (~ 8 minutes), then place in an oiled bowl and cover with saran to rest (30 minutes - 2 hours).
2. To make the filling, mix all filling ingredients together. Since the filling ingredients can be eaten as is, you can give a quick taste test and adjust salt/pepper to suit your taste.
3. Once the dough has rested, divide into 4 portions. Roll each dough into an 8 inch circle, place 1/4 of filling at the center, then gather the dough edges and pinch to seal. With the seams side down, gently flatten and roll into an 8" circle of about 1/2" thick. Repeat for 3 more portions.
4. Heat about 1/4" of olive oil in a frying pan/skillet. Once the oil is hot, fry the stuffed dough for 2 minutes until golden brown. Gently flip and cook the other side as well until golden brown, another 2 minutes.
5. Place cooked paratha on a wire rack over a baking tray to keep them crispy while you cook the rest of the stuffed dough.
6. Cut the fried paratha into wedges and serve with raita.
