Notes

Adding oil while kneading the chapathi dough is optional.
We grate the potatoes so that while rolling also we don’t get any lumps.
Adding spiciness is according to your taste.
While rolling apply pressure evenly and lightly so that the mixture inside does not ooze out.
Ghee will be best for this than oil.
