How to Make Potato Roti (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Potato Roti, locally enjoyed across Malaysia and inspired by North Indian influences, is a beloved flatbread stuffed with spiced potatoes and aromatic herbs. This dish exemplifies the multicultural harmony found in Malaysian cuisine, with each bite offering a comforting blend of flavors familiar to Malaysian households. Served hot off the pan, Potato Roti is perfect for lunch, pairing beautifully with a side of dhal or a fresh cucumber salad. In Malaysia, Potato Roti (Roti Kentang) is a popular vegetarian choice, often enjoyed in both Indian Muslim (Mamak) eateries and home kitchens, especially in the northern states. The roti’s soft, chewy texture and fragrant potato filling, enhanced with local ingredients like daun ketumbar (coriander leaves) and a hint of fresh cili hijau, make it a satisfying and wholesome meal. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a light lunch or provide a nutritious vegetarian option for your family, this healthy version of Potato Roti is sure to please both taste buds and health-conscious eaters.

Arahan
- 1
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and low-fat yogurt. Add a few tablespoons of water and knead into a soft, pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

- 2
Mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Add chopped onion, green chili, cumin powder, coriander leaves, and lemongrass powder (if using). Mix well and season with salt.
5 minutes
Ensure potatoes are cool before mixing to prevent soggy filling.

Keep dough covered to prevent drying.
