Method

Parathas with spicy potato filling

1.Sift flours and salt into large bowl, rub in ghee. Stir in enough water to make ingredients cling together. Turn dough onto floured surface, knead about 10 minutes or until smooth.

2.Divide dough into 16 portions, roll each portion on floured surface into a 16cm round. Stack rounds between layers of plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

3.Divide filling among 8 rounds. Spread filling over rounds, leaving 7mm borders. Brush borders with water, top with remaining rounds, press edges together to seal.

4.Heat some of the extra ghee in large pan, add parathas in batches, cook until browned and slightly puffed on both sides; drain on absorbent paper. Repeat with remaining ghee and parathas.
