Method
Take the wheat flour in a bowl, add water, salt and knead the dough until it is soft and smooth.
Add the oil and continue kneading the dough for another couple of minutes. Cover and rest the dough for 20-30 minutes.
Pressure cook the potatoes for 5 whistles with water.
Cool, peel the potatoes and mash them and ensure there aren’t any lumps or small pieces.
Add garam masala, chilli powder, salt, mango powder, coriander leaves and chopped green chilli to the mashed potatoes. Mix well and keep the stuffing aside.
Method 1 - Roll a small portion of dough into a thick 3-inch circle. Place the aloo stuffing inside and cover the stuffing by sealing the circumference of the dough. Flatten and roll using a rolling pin.
Method 2 - Roll two small portion of dough into individual 5 inch thin circles. Place the aloo stuffing on top of one circle and cover it with the other one. Seal the edges and roll into a paratha using a rolling pin on a rolling board.
