Cuisine Indian

Ingredients
  

  • 4 small potatoes, boiled and peeled
  • 2 cups finely chopped fenugreek/methi leaves
  • 5 tbsp of cream cheese
  • tbsp salt
  • 3 tbsp sunflower / vegetable oil plus a little extra for cooking the parathas
  • 3 cups plain whole wheat flour

Instructions
 

  • Beat together the potatoes and the cheese till smooth and creamy.
  • Add the fenugreek leaves, flour, salt and oil and mix to form a dough ( it will be quite sticky)
  • Knead the dough for a few minutes; a floured worktop and floured hands should help.
  • Divide the dough into 15-16 portions (shape into balls and slightly flatten them, I did not make them too big) and roll out into discs of about a mm in thickness (note- roll the balls of dough in flour and also the rolling pin to avoid sticking to it) .
  • Heat and grease a pan over medium heat and place a rolled paratha on it.
  • Cook for about 11-12 seconds on each side and again for about 4-5 seconds on each side, or till dark brown spots begin to appear.
  • Repeat for all the rest of the balls of dough, stacking them one top of the other as you finish cooking and wrap in foil
  • Serve hot with yogurt, pickles etc. Simple curries will also go well with the parathas. We had ours with just some simple dal and pickle.
