Aloo Roti (Potato Rotis) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 large potatoes
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
    1 teaspoon mint leaf
    2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
    1 green chili pepper, sliced fine
    1 tablespoon ginger paste
    1/4 teaspoon ajwain, seends coarsely ground
    salt, to taste
    pepper, to taste
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt (if needed)
    flour, for dusting
    butter, to baste
Preparation
    Boil potatoes till tender, then grate them.
    Mix together in a large bowl, the wholewheat flour, AP flour, fenugreek and mint leaves, cilantro, chili, ginger, ajwain seeds, salt and pepper.
    Mix in the grated potatoes and oil.
    You should have a semi-firm dough that does not stick to your fingers, but if you don't have enough moisture, add some of the optional yogurt to yield a dough of such consistency.
    Do not knead the dough anymore than needed to incorporate everything. There is also no need to let it rest.
    Divide the dough into 10-12 balls with lightly oiled, clean hands.
    Dust your rolling surface with some flour, and roll each ball into a thin 6-inch circle.
    Heat your griddle over medium-high heat and cook the breads until they are speckled with golden dots on each side. This should take about a minute per side.
    Remove from griddle, brush with butter and serve.
