Ingredients
3 red or Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and chopped
200g fresh spinach leaves
400g chapati flour
½ tsp salt
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
225g paneer
handful fresh coriander, chopped
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried mango powder or chat masala
Method
– Boil potatoes until soft and then leave to cool.
– Cook spinach for a few of minutes in 2-3 tbsp water until wilted.
– Blitz spinach and water for a few seconds to puree.
– Gradually add the puree to the flour and salt and bring together to make a dough.
– Cover dough and leave to rest for half an hour.
– Place a couple of the cooled potatoes into a bowl and smash by hand.
– Crumble the paneer into the bowl and add the onions, garlic and coriander.
– Add the spices and mix together.
– Take a lemon-sized portion of the dough and dust with flour.
– Roll out to 2-3 inches and add a portion of the filling to the centre and scrunch together so it is contained. Don’t worry if it breaks as the potatoes will crisp up.
– Roll out until flatter.
– Repeat with the rest of the dough.
– Heat a pan on the hob and brush oil or ghee over each side of each flatbread.
– Cook each side until golden.
– Place each paratha on a plate and add a dollop of butter to melt into it before serving.
Any leftover filling can be used in wraps or sandwiches.
