Ingredients
1 cup mashed potatoes
salt to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Directions
Mix mashed potatoes, salt, cayenne, turmeric, cilantro, and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a bowl until well combined. Add flour, a little at a time, and knead until a stiff but pliable dough forms; if dough becomes too stiff, add a few drops of water. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 10 minutes.
Preheat a nonstick griddle to medium heat.
Divide dough into eight lemon-sized portions and roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thickness. Working in batches, fry chapatis on the hot griddle using up to 1 teaspoon of oil for each side. Cook until brown spots have started to form on the bread and the dough is cooked through. Brush with melted butter and serve hot.
