First knead the wheat flour with besan and water and a little salt and keep aside. Add all the spices above to the mashed potatoes with coriander leaves and mix nicely. Roll it into medium sized balls. Make balls of the dough. Knead each ball into a small round. Then fill it with the potato masala and
make pleats of the dough around it and enclose it properly. Then gently roll this out into a round flat shape.
Heat a pan and put the paratha on it. Once slightly cooked on one side, flip it. Apply ghee on the upper surface and flip again. Dab with a large spatula. Apply ghee on the other surface also and flip and press again until cooked nicely.
Eat hot parathas with butter, ketchup or mint chutney or pickle
