Mash the boiling potatoes with the chopped green chilli, cumin seeds, red chilli powder, coriander powder, salt, and chopped coriander leaves in a separate bowl. To create the stuffing, thoroughly combine all of the ingredients.

Roll the dough into little discs after dividing it into equal-sized balls.

Place some stuffing in the centre of one disc and draw the edges together to seal the stuffing within.

Roll the stuffed dough ball into a circular disc about 6-7 inches in diameter, dusted with flour.

Place the rolled paratha on a tawa or griddle over medium heat.
