In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Heat a teaspoon of Sharma’s Kitchen Ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add mashed potatoes, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball into a small circle and place a portion of the potato mixture in the center.
Fold the edges of the dough to cover the stuffing completely and roll it out into a round paratha.
Heat a tawa (griddle) and cook the paratha on medium heat, applying Sharma’s Kitchen Ghee generously on both sides until golden brown spots appear.
Serve hot with Sharma's Kitchen Probiotic Yoghurt.
