Bolani is a yummy tasting Afghani bread with potato filling. I ate this for the very first time in a friends party and wanted to try making it as it was so delicious.

Salt to taste
Oil – 1 tsp
Water
For filling
Boiled potato (big sized) – 1
Chopped spring onion / Scallions – 1 tbsp

How to make bolani with step by step images
In a bowl add all purpose flour/ maida, salt, drops of oil and water. Combine everything and work it into a soft dough. Rest the dough for 30 minutes.
Mash the boiled potatoes and add chopped spring onion, cilantro, red chili powder and salt. Mix everything well.
Now take a ball of dough and flatten it thin. The more thinner the more better.
Now take 2 tbsp potato stuffing and place it in one half of the dough and spread it leaving ¼ th outer.
Now fold it with other half of the dough and seal it with your fingers. Make sure there is no air inside.
Now heat a pan and place the bolani and drizzle some oil around it. When brown spots appear flip it to the other side.
