🔀 Ingredients:
- 2 cups wheat flour
- 3-4 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- Salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp oil

🔀 Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, add the wheat flour, salt, and oil. Mix well and knead into a smooth dough. Keep it aside for 10-15 minutes.

3. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roll them into balls.
4. Dust some flour on the rolling board and flatten the dough ball into a small circle.
5. Add a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of the circle and bring the edges together to seal the filling inside.
6. Roll the stuffed dough ball into a circle using a rolling pin.
7. Heat a tawa or griddle over medium-high heat.
8. Place the rolled paratha on the heated tawa and cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on the surface.
9. Flip the paratha and cook the other side for another minute.
10. Apply some oil on both sides and cook until golden brown.
11. Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
🔀 Key Points and Tips:

- Use fresh coriander leaves to enhance the flavor.
