Ingredients
Potato - Use fresh golden potatoes
Spice Powders - I am using minimal spice powders to the stiffing. They give a yummy taste to the potato stuffing.
Coriander Leaves - Use finely chopped coriander leave to the stuffing.
Wheat Flour - Use Whole wheat flour for preparing the paratha dough.
Water as needed to knead the dough.
Salt - to taste as per your taste.
Ghee - Cooking paratha in ghee adds a lovely taste rather than oil. Highly recommend using ghee here.

Prepare Stuffing:
Wash potatoes , remove dirt and then chop them roughly into 2 or 3 pieces. Add chopped potatoes to pressure cooker along with water. Cook for 4 whistles.

Tips & Variations
- The perfect stuffed paratha always comes by practice. So i suggest keep trying no matter what.
- Seal the dough completely while adding the stiffing. So that the stuffing do not comes out while rolling paratha.
- Take care while rolling the paratha if you give too much pressure the stuffing’s might come out. Always roll gently with equal pressure over the entire paratha.

- If the stuffing’s comes out a little it is absolutely ok. If too much comes out you will not be able to roll the paratha properly and end up redoing.
