Oil to cook
Method:
Dough:1.Mix flour, salt and water together to make soft dough (if the dough is hard add a little more water). I like mixing the dough by hand.
2.Knead the dough for a few minutes on a lightly greased surface to make smooth and pliable dough.
3.Set the dough aside and cover it with a damp cloth. Let the dough rest for at least ten minutes.
Filling:
1.Boil 2 medium potatoes ,peel the skin off and mash the potatoes.

Making paratha:
1.Divide the dough and potato mixture into equal parts. The potato balls should be about 1 1/2 times larger than the dough balls.
2.Roll the dough into circles. Place the potato balls in the center. Seal by pulling the edges of the rolled dough together to make a ball.
3.Let them settle for 3 to 4 minutes before rolling them.
4.Heat the skillet on medium high. Note: An iron skillet works best.
5.Place the paratha over the skillet. After a few seconds you will see the
paratha change color and puff in different places.
