Ingredients

Assemble

Take one (paratha) spread the mayo yogurt dip and put a good amount of potato filling in the center followed by pickled onion, tomato, cilantro and a dash of chaat masala with a little bit of the spread on top and roll it. Cover it using a foil paper or butter paper and you are good to go!

Tips: You can easily make it with leftover potato filling or with baji with some slight modification. If you have leftover parathas then boil some potatoes or even make the filling previous day to avoid last minute rush. Hope this post will help you all! Enjoy!
