Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 cup boiled and mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup boiled peas
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced green chilies
- Salt to taste
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Gradually add 1 cup of water and knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and sauté until they start to splutter. Then, add 1 teaspoon of grated ginger and 1 teaspoon of minced green chilies. Sauté for 1 minute.
- Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, and 1 teaspoon of red chili powder to the pan. Stir well to combine the spices with the oil.
- Add 1 cup of boiled and mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup of boiled peas, and 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro to the pan. Mix everything together and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
- Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball and roll it out into a small circle on a floured surface.
- Place a spoonful of the potato and pea filling in the center of each rolled-out dough circle. Bring the edges of the dough together to cover the filling and pinch to seal. Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball and roll it out into a chapati.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the stuffed chapati on it. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and brush with oil. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat the process with the remaining stuffed chapatis. Serve hot with yogurt or your favorite chutney.
