Aloo Paratha/Stuffed Indian flat bread

Ingredients needed
Potatoes - 3 to 4 
Coriander leaves - handful finely chopped
Coriander powder/Dhania powder - 1tsp
Red chili powder - 1tsp or to taste
Amchur powder - 1/2 tsp
Jeera/Cumin powder - 1/2tsp

Method
Step 1 - wash and pressure cook the potatoes.
When it is cool enough to handle
peel the skin and mash it nicely.
Now add the spice powders,salt and coriander leaves and mix well.Divide it into 7 balls.

Step 2 - Now take the chapati
 dough and divide it into 7 balls(slightly bigger than the regular chapati balls).Roll them in 3 inch diameter circles and place the filling inside and seal the edges by pulling the dough together and make a ball.Repeat the process for all the fillings.
Step 3 - Take one of the stuffed ball and dip it in the dry wheat flour on both the sides first (this avoids dough sticking into the rolling pin) and roll it into 6 to 7 inch diameter circles.Sprinkle flour in between if needed.
Step 4 - Now heat the tava/skillet and place the paratha,after few seconds paratha starts changing colour then flip it over and cook it on the other side.At this point add a 1/2tsp of oil and lightly press it with a spatula.Again flip it over and gently press the other side with a spatula and add 1/2 tsp of oil.Make sure they are cooked well on both the sides.Cool it on a wire rack.
Yummy aloo parathas are ready to serve !
