Ingredients Method
3-4 medium potatoes
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried coriander seeds, crushed
1 tsp salt
3 Tbsp oil
1 cup water
1 tsp chillies, chopped finely
1 tsp ginger, chopped finely
1 tsp coriander, chopped finely
salt (to taste)
fresh ground pepper (to taste)
  1. Cover potatoes in salted water. Boil until tender.
  2. While potatoes cook, mix flours, cumin, and 1 tsp of salt. Add 2 Tbsp of oil, then water. Mix and knead until smooth, adding flour or water as necessary to make a smooth ball of dough. Cover dough with plastic wrap and set aside while preparing potatoes.
  3. When potatoes are boiled, remove, drain, and mash with all leftover ingredients. Taste and amend seasonings as required.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into 12 in long snake and cut into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into about 4 in round.
  5. Spoon 1-2 Tbsp of potato mixture into round, then fold over edges to make an envelope. Dust with dry flour and press down to distribute filling evenly. Use a rolling pin and roll it into a square pancake.
  6. Heat large pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add thin film of oil. Cook each bread for about 3 minutes per side, until cooked. Repeat until all are done.
