Stuffed Flatbreads

Print Recipe

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

  1. 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.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix mashed potatoes with onion, green chili, cilantro, cumin, garam masala, and salt. Divide into 4 equal portions.
  3. 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.
  4. Gently roll the filled dough ball into a flat disc, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
