Keep prepared mint potato stuffing aside.
Assembling and Rolling Stuffed Mint Potato Parathas:
First Method :
Pinch a medium ball dough. roll and flatten it. Dust with some flour and roll it in a circle of about 8-9 cm in diameter.
Place the mint potato stuffing in the center, keeping about 2 to 2.5 inches space from the sides.
Take the edge and start pleating as well as bringing the pleats in the center.
Join the pleats together. The pleats have to be joined well, as otherwise there will be gaps while rolling and the filling comes out. In case you do see the filling, then just take a small piece of dough and cover the gap. Roll to smoothen out the small piece of dough.
Press the pleats from center.
Sprinkle some flour and roll this version of stuffed mint potato paratha to about the same size as that of a chapati or roti.
On a hot tava/skillet/griddle place the rolled stuffed mint potato paratha.
When the base is partly cooked, flip.
Spread some ghee / oil on the partly cooked part.
Flip again and this time this side has to be cooked more than the previous side. You will see brown spots on the stuffed mint potato paratha.
Spread some ghee / oil on this side too. A well made and well roasted stuffed mint potato paratha will puff up.
Flip again once or twice till both the sides are cooked properly. You should see crisp brown spots on the stuffed mint potato paratha. You can also press the stuffed mint potato paratha edges with a spatula or spoon, so that they are fried well.
You can also serve the stuffed mint potato parathas directly from the tava/skillet straight in the serving plate. Serve some extra butter on the side, along with mango pickle, lemon pickle, green chutney or some yogurt.
Second Method :
Pinch two small balls from the dough. Flatten them and dust with whole wheat flour.
With a rolling pin, roll them into about 4 to 5 inches diameter rounds . Try making both the rounds of the same size.
On of the rolled dough circle, place the mint potato stuffing in the center and keep about 1 inch empty space from the sides.
Gently place the second circle on top.
Press and seal the edges with your fingertips.
Dust some flour on the stuffed mint potato paratha and roll into a round of about 15 cm in diameter or about the size of a normal roti or chapati.
