Ingredients
Dough
🌾 Whole-wheat flour (atta): 300 g (2½ cups / 10.6 oz)
🧂 Fine salt: 6 g (1 tsp / 0.21 oz)
🧈 Neutral oil or ghee: 15 ml (1 tbsp / 0.5 fl oz)
💧 Warm water: 180–200 ml (¾–0.85 cup / 6–6.8 fl oz)
Potato filling
🥔 Potatoes, boiled & mashed: 500 g (1.1 lb)
🌶 Green chili, finely chopped (optional): 1
🫚 Grated ginger: 10 g (2 tsp / 0.35 oz)
🌿 Fresh cilantro, chopped: 10 g (¼ cup / 0.35 oz)
🌱 Cumin seeds: 3 g (1 tsp / 0.1 oz)
🌿 Ground coriander: 3 g (1 tsp / 0.1 oz)
🌶 Kashmiri chili powder (mild): 1–2 g (¼–½ tsp)
🌿 Garam masala: 1.5 g (½ tsp / 0.05 oz)
🍋 Amchur 1.5 g (½ tsp / 0.05 oz) or lemon juice 10 ml (2 tsp / 0.34 fl oz)
🧂 Salt: to taste
🧈 Ghee for cooking: 30–40 g (2–3 tbsp / 1–1.4 oz)
Preparation
1️⃣ Make the dough: Mix flour and salt. Rub in oil. Add warm water gradually; knead 6–8 min to a smooth, soft dough. Rest 20 min covered.
2️⃣ Make the filling: Combine mashed potatoes with chili, ginger, cilantro, spices, and salt (or lemon). Cool completely.
3️⃣ Divide dough into 8 balls; divide filling into 8 equal portions.
4️⃣ Roll one dough ball to 10–12 cm (4–5 in). Add filling, gather edges, and pinch to seal.
5️⃣ Flatten; dust lightly with flour. Roll to 16–18 cm (6½–7 in).
6️⃣ Cook on a hot tawa/skillet: dry-toast 30–40 s, flip, brush with ghee, cook 45–60 s; flip again, brush, and cook to golden spots.
7️⃣ Repeat. Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or butter.

Advice
Rest the stuffed balls 2 minutes before rolling — the gluten relaxes so they don’t tear and roll thinner.
Why it works: Brief resting + light flouring keeps the dough elastic; dry, well-spiced potatoes prevent steam pockets and help create crisp, blistered spots.
Twist: Add 50–80 g grated paneer to the filling for extra richness, or mix ½ tsp ajwain (carom seeds) into the dough for a classic North-Indian aroma.
