Potato Stuffed Flatbread

Ingredients

FlourAbout 3 tbsp
WaterAs needed
SaltTo taste
Potato1 large
Oil1 tbsp
Whole Cumin1 tsp
Whole Coriander1 tsp
Turmeric Powder1 tsp
Chili Flakes1 tsp

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes until soft, then rinse under cold water to cool.
  2. Peel and mash the cooled potatoes, trying to avoid any lumps.
  3. In a small pot, heat some oil on medium-low heat. Add the cumin and coriander seeds.
  4. Fry the spices until fragrant, then pour the oil and spices into the potato mixture.
  5. Add the turmeric and salt to taste and mix well.
  6. Form a mound of flour on a flat surface and add a few pinches of salt, then form a well in the middle.
  7. Add water a little at a time, mixing with a fork, then with your hand, until a soft sticky dough is formed.
  8. Divide the dough into equal pieces. Form these pieces into smooth balls.
  9. Slightly flatten each ball and place a ball of the potato mixture in the center. Pull the dough around and pinch it at the top as if closing a dumpling. Then turn the stuffed dough upside down and gently flatten it.
  10. Heat a pan on medium-high heat (Make sure it is hot before cooking your first flatbread, or it may become dry).
  11. When the pan is hot, place the flatbread onto it.
  12. Flip when one side is charred, and once fully cooked, place aside. Repeat the process with all the other flatbread.
  13. Make sure to taste the first flatbread to make sure it is cooked through, and that the dough and potato mixture have the right amount of salt.
  14. Enjoy!
Tip!

Never forget the salt in any bread dough recipe!

Always use a very hot pan to cook flatbread, or they dry out.

These flatbreads can also be made plain without a stuffing, or stuffed with various other ingredients, such as cheese. Feel free to experiment!
