spicy potato, onion parantha


I had my parantha with pickle mixed with curd.
Ingredients
potatoes 2 boiled peeled & smashed          onion 1 big chopped very fine      
coriander leaves 2 tbsp cut fine      salt 1 tsp    green chilies 4 slit & chopped fine/ red chili pdr 1 tsp or
you may add some ' avakkai pickle'  gravy        ajwain 1 tsp    wheat flr 2 - 2 1/2 cups         ghee

Method
1) smash potatoes well with pickle, onion, coriander leaves, salt, ajwain, red chili pdr/ pickle
2) add flr to the potato mixture little by little, keep kneading to a soft dough without adding any water.
3) once the dough is ready like the chapati dough, cover & keep it aside for 30 minutes.
4) Heat a heavy tava or non-stick pan, roll out the dough into small round paranthas, as thin as possible
5) let it cook on one side, turn over, let brown spots come, then smear few drops of ghee/ clarified butter on top & let it get cooked some more.
6) serve this hot with tomato chutney/ pulikachal/ curd with pickle/ salad & curd.

This parantha will remain soft for long, can be eaten plain also, as it is spicy.
With the above quantity you'll get 5 paranthas easily.
