Potato Flatbread
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup boiled & mashed potatoes
1 cup wheat flour
1/4 cup flax powder (optional)
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp coriander-cumin seed powder
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp carrom seeds/owa/ajmo/ajwain
2 tbsp kasoori methi, crushed by hand
salt to taste
1 tsp oil

wheat flour for dredging
oil for roasting

Grind to a fine paste
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
1" ginger, peeled & chopped
1/4 cup cilantro/coriander leaves

Method
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Add potatoes, green paste. Start mixing slowly without adding any water. The moisture from potatoes and green paste should be enough to bind the dough. If absolutely necessary, just sprinkle some water to knead the dough. Add 1 tsp oil. Knead again. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes.
2. Make 12 equal sized balls.
3. Roll into thin theplas - flatbreads, dredging into wheat flour as necessary.
4. Roast on a hot tawa/griddle/pan, using oil as necessary - till brown spots appear on both sides of the thepla.
5. Store theplas wrapped in a clean cotton napkin till ready to use.

Note
1. Instead of kasoori methi, fresh methi leaves can be used. For fresh methi leaves, you can use 1/4 cup chopped fresh methi leaves.
