  • Instructions
  • In a wide bowl, measure the flour and add the salt and oil. Add just enough to bring the flour together and make a soft dough. Knead for about 5 to 7 minutes and then let the dough rest (covered) for at least 30 minutes.
  • To prepare the filling –
  • Cook the potatoes in boiling water until it is cooked through. Insert a knife or a skewer inside the potato and check to see of it is done.
  • Drain the potatoes and let it cool. Peel the potatoes and mash them using a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients mentioned under the filling. Mix it well and leave it aside.
  • To shape the flatbread –
  • Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Dust the rolling pin and dough ball with flour and roll it into a thin 10 to 12 inch circle.
  • Spread about 3 tablespoon of filling on one half of the dough. Leave a little space at the edge to help seal the flatbread.
  • Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges. Make sure to remove any excess air inside the pocket and seal.
  • Repeat with rest of the dough.
  • To Cook the flatbread –
  • Heat a heavy griddle/pan over medium heat. I love using my cast iron pan for cooking the Bolani.
  • Add about a tablespoon of oil on the griddle and spread it around. Place the shaped flatbread and cook on both sides until golden brown. Add more oil if needed.
  • Place the cooked Bolani between kitchen towel to keep them warm.
  • Repeat with the rest of the dough and serve warm.
