To prepare the dough, place the flour and water in a large dough and mix with a spoon.
Wet your hands and knead the dough on a floured surface for five minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a tea towel, and leave for 10 minutes.
Knead the dough again and divide it into 8 balls and cover with a tea towel.
Boil the potatoes unpeeled, then peel and mash them.
While the potatoes are still warm, add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Divide the mixture into 8 small round balls, and set aside.
Roll out each ball of dough to a circle about 10cm/4in across. Place a potato ball in the middle and lift the dough edges to form a larger ball. Roll out lightly, making sure that the mixture does not come out at the edges. Repeat with the remaining dough an filling.
Set a dry shallow frying pan over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, cook each paratha for about 2 minutes on each side until patched with brown. Wrap your cooked parathas in foil to keep them warm as you cook the rest.
