Method

  1. Boil 1 large potato, peel and mash it smooth with no lumps. Let it cool.
  2. In a bowl combine rajgira (amaranth) flour, mashed potato, ajwain, chopped coriander and rock salt. Add a little warm water gradually and knead into a smooth, soft dough. Rest 10 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into equal balls. Roll each between two greased sheets or on a dusted surface into a round paratha; amaranth dough is fragile, so roll gently.
  4. Cook on a hot tawa, flipping carefully with a spatula. Apply ghee or oil on both sides and roast until golden brown spots appear.
  5. Serve the rajgira paratha hot with curd or a fasting-friendly potato sabzi.
