Ingredients

  • 2 large potatoes
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
  • 1 teaspoon mint leaf
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 1 green chili pepper, sliced fine
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ajwain, seends coarsely ground
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt (if needed)
  • flour, for dusting
  • butter, to baste

Method

  • Boil potatoes till tender, then grate them.
  • Mix together in a large bowl, the wholewheat flour, AP flour, fenugreek and mint leaves, cilantro, chili, ginger, ajwain seeds, salt and pepper.
  • Mix in the grated potatoes and oil.
  • You should have a semi-firm dough that does not stick to your fingers, but if you don't have enough moisture, add some of the optional yogurt to yield a dough of such consistency.
  • Do not knead the dough anymore than needed to incorporate everything. There is also no need to let it rest.
  • Divide the dough into 10-12 balls with lightly oiled, clean hands.
  • Dust your rolling surface with some flour, and roll each ball into a thin 6-inch circle.
  • Heat your griddle over medium-high heat and cook the breads until they are speckled with golden dots on each side. This should take about a minute per side.
  • Remove from griddle, brush with butter and serve.
