Written By Andira on Monday, August 13, 2007 | 3:57 AM

Ingredients

1/2 cup (50 g) 1 3/4 oz Wholewheat flour (atta)
1 tbsp (15 g) Ghee

For the filling:

1 cup Potatoes, boiled, mashed
1/2 tsp Garam masala
3/4 tsp (1 1/2 g) Red chilli powder
1 tsp (2 g) Coriander (dhaniya) seeds, roasted, powdered
1 tbsp (4 g) Green coriander (hara dhaniya), chopped
1 tbsp (12 g) Onion, chopped
Salt to taste
Ghee for shallow frying

Method

1. Sift the wholewheat flour. Rub in the ghee with the fingertips. Knead with enough cold water to make a soft dough. .
2. For the filling, mix all the ingredients together. Divide the filling into 10 equal portions.
3. Divide the dough equally into 10 portions. Flatten each out into a small disc. Place 1 portion of the filling in the centre, press the edges to seal and reshape into a ball. Roll each ball out into an 8 inch disc, dusting with dry flour to prevent sticking.
4. Heat a griddle (tawa); cook the disc, drizzling 1 tsp ghee, till tiny brown spots appear on both sides. Similarly repeat with the other discs.
5. Serve hot with yoghurt, chutney and pickle.
