Potato Chapathis/Parathas

Submitted by Honeybeee

"These are unleavened Indian Breads. When cooked with oil they are called 'parathas' and when without oil, they are referred to as 'chapathis'. Have them with any curry and taste best when eaten hot - straight from the fire and onto your plate!"

I love this recipe, so fast easy and they turn out great. Even the kids can help with this one. Nice and soft, soaks up the curry, yum!

A simple recipe that comes together fast- a plus in my book. The subtle flavor of the potato was also very nice. Served them with dal, rice, and a curry of green pepper/chickpeas/potatoes. Thank you, Honeybeee.

Yum! This was very simple and very yummy. I was so nervous about cooking any sort of Indian food, but I made these and even impressed my Indian friend! I snacked on them as I took them off of the griddle, naughty, but I loved them so much!

Easy and they turned out excellent! Not being sure about the potato size I just added the flour as I went along and stopped when the dough was not sticky anymore, like you say in your recipe. I served this together with your Cauliflower Surpreme and we had an excellent meal! Honeybee, thank you!
