steps
- 1.
In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water, kneading to form a smooth dough, then cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball. Do the same for the potato filling.
- 4.
Roll out a dough ball into a small disk, place a potato filling ball in the center, and fold the edges around the filling to seal it.
- 5.
Gently roll it out again into a flat circle, taking care not to let the filling spill out.

Heat a skillet over medium heat, adding a tablespoon of ghee or oil.

Cook the paratha for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy, adding more ghee as needed.
