Instructions:
-
Boil Potatoes: Start by boiling the potatoes until they are thoroughly cooked. This usually takes around 20 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes. ๐ฅ๐ง

Prepare Potato Mash: Once the potatoes are tender, carefully peel off the skin and mash them while they’re still hot. ๐ฅ๐ฅ
-
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the mashed potatoes to the flour. Sprinkle salt according to your taste preferences. Mix them well until you achieve a uniform consistency. ๐ช๐ฅฃ
-
Knead the Dough: Begin kneading the mixture to form a soft, pliable dough. Make sure it’s not too sticky. Adjust with more flour if necessary, but avoid adding water. Kneading usually takes around 5-7 minutes. โณ๐ฉโ๐ณ
-
Divide and Roll: Divide the dough into equal portions. Take one portion and roll it into a ball. Using a rolling pin, roll out each portion into 6-inch diameter rounds. You may sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฅ

Cooking Chapathis/Parathas:
-
Stove Top Method: Heat a griddle or tawa over medium-high heat. Once hot, gently place a rolled-out chapathi or paratha onto the griddle. Let it cook for a minute or until bubbles start to appear.
-
With Oil (Parathas): Drizzle a spoonful of oil over the chapathi or paratha. Flip it over and cook the other side, pressing lightly with a spatula. Continue cooking until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Repeat the process for the remaining dough portions. ๐ณ๐ฅ
-
Without Oil (Chapathis): If you prefer chapathis, simply cook them on the griddle without adding oil. Flip them over occasionally until both sides are cooked evenly and slightly browned.
-
-
Serve Hot: Once cooked to perfection, remove the chapathis or parathas from the griddle and serve them immediately while they’re still hot. Enjoy the delightful aroma and flavors of these homemade Potato Chapathis/Parathas with your favorite curry or accompaniment. ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
