Spicy Potato Stuffed Flatbread
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp oil
For the Filling:
- 2 medium potatoes boiled and mashed
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 small green chili finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
- Salt to taste
For Cooking:
- 2 tbsp oil or butter for greasing the skillet
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Add the oil and knead for another minute until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with turmeric, chili powder, cumin, garam masala, black pepper, green chili (if using), cilantro, and salt. Adjust the spices to your preference. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
Assemble the Flatbreads:
- Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle, about 4 inches in diameter. Place one portion of the potato filling in the center of the circle.
- Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal. Gently flatten the stuffed ball and roll it out carefully into a flatbread, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Repeat for all portions.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease with a little oil or butter. Place one flatbread on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown spots appear. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, adding a bit of oil or butter if needed. Repeat for all flatbreads.
Serve:
- Serve hot with yogurt, chutney, or a side salad. Enjoy!
