A potential classic: Potato Paratha

It took us by surprise that this was so easy to make! I love parathas, and the recipe is from Abel and Cole.

The ingredients are:

500 g potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 tbsp of olive oil

2 tsp cumin seeds

Thinly sliced fresh chilli

A good pinch of  thyme 

A little grating of orange zest

A good pinch of sea salt 

1 to 2 mugs of plain flour

Boil the potatoes in salted water till mashable. Drain, mash with a potato ricer (or how you like). 

Add oil, spices, orange zest, chillies, salt

Sift the flour little by little to form a soft dough. 

Generously dust a cutting board with flour. Scoop a golf-sized lump of the dough. Roll it on the board, flatten by hand. Go until 1cm thick. 

Place a large pan over high heat - no need for oil. Turn the heat down after a few mins. Cook each side till golden. 

And enjoy!
