Description
Stuffed Flatbreads are soft, pan-cooked breads filled with a savory mixture such as spiced potatoes, cheese, or herbs. Popular in many cultures, they make a satisfying snack, side, or light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (plus more if needed)
- 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (for filling)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and oil, kneading to form a smooth, soft dough. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix mashed potatoes with onion, green chili, cilantro, cumin, garam masala, and salt. Divide into 4 equal portions.
- Divide dough into 4 equal balls. Roll out one ball into a small circle, place a portion of filling in the center, then fold the dough around the filling and seal.
- Gently roll the filled dough ball into a flat disc, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
- Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Cook the flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side, brushing with oil or butter, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Serve warm with yogurt, chutney, or pickles.
Notes
- You can vary the fillings—try paneer, spiced lentils, or cooked minced meat.
- For vegan option, use oil instead of butter and avoid dairy fillings.
- Resting the dough helps it become more pliable and easier to roll.
