Preparation
For Boiling Potato:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Add enough water and potatoes in the pressure cooker and close the lid.
Turn on the heat to high and let the pressure build up in the cooker.
Once the pressure cooker starts to whistle, reduce the heat to medium-low.
Let the potatoes cook for 5-7 minutes, depending on their size.
Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally. Peel, mash and keep aside.
Cooking Steps
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and oil. Add water slowly and knead the dough until it's smooth and soft. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
In another mixing bowl, combine mashed boiled potatoes, green chili, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and flatten each ball in the palm of your hand. Place a tablespoon of the potato mixture in the center and bring the edges of the dough together to cover the filling. Roll it gently into a ball again.
Roll out each ball into a flat circle, using a rolling pin and some flour. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place the rolled-out paratha on the pan and cook it for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Brush a little oil on each side while cooking.
Serve hot.
