Unlike traditional parathas, these are made by rolling flavorful potato stuffing inside the dough, then slicing into pinwheels and pan-frying with oil or ghee until crispy. Serve as a party snack or pack in your child's lunchbox. The small bites are easy for kids to eat.

Steps

45 minutes

1

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon oil. Gradually add water and knead into a firm dough, similar to puri dough. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
2

Peel and mash the boiled potatoes. Add all the spices and mix well. Divide the mixture into two portions.
3

Divide the dough into two balls. Roll one ball into a large circle. Spread half of the potato mixture evenly over the dough. Roll it up tightly.
4

Cut the roll into 1-inch pieces. Gently press each piece to flatten.
5

Heat a nonstick pan and spread a little oil. Place the flattened pinwheels on the pan. Cook on both sides, adding oil as needed, and gently press with a spatula until crispy and golden.
6

Serve hot with tomato ketchup. For lunchboxes, pack with fruit or salad on the side.
