Begin by preparing the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and one teaspoon of salt. Gradually add water, kneading the mixture into a soft yet firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for at least 15 minutes to rest.
Peel and boil the potatoes until they are soft and tender. Once boiled, drain the water and mash the potatoes in a large bowl. Ensure no lumps remain.
Finely chop the onion and green chili. Add these to the mashed potatoes.
Stir in the chopped coriander leaves, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt into the potato mixture. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure spices are evenly distributed.
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a small disc by hand.
Roll out one disc into a small circle about 4 inches in diameter. Place a heaping tablespoon of the potato-onion mixture in the center.
Carefully bring the edges of the dough together to encase the filling completely, pinching to seal it into a ball. Gently flatten this ball.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the filled ball into a circle approximately 6 inches in diameter, taking care to avoid tearing.
Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil and carefully place the rolled paratha onto the skillet.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the base is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the paratha and drizzle a bit more oil around the edges, cooking until the second side is golden brown as well.
Repeat the rolling, stuffing, and cooking process with the remaining dough and filling.
Serve the hot, dairy-free aloo pyaz parathas with your choice of chutney or vegan yogurt.
