Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp oil. Add water gradually to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, then add grated boiled potatoes, carrots, green peas, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle red chili powder, garam masala, chaat masala, black pepper, and salt onto the vegetables. Mix well and cook another 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, toss to combine, and remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough into 4 balls. Roll out each ball into a thin circle. Cook each paratha on a heated skillet with a few drops of oil, about 1–2 minutes on each side until golden brown and flaky. Optionally, brush lightly with beaten egg for extra glaze.

  5. 5

    To assemble: Place a warm paratha on a plate. Arrange a portion of the prepared veggie filling down the center. Roll tightly to form a wrap. Repeat with remaining parathas and filling. Serve immediately, optionally with more chaat masala and sliced onions.
