In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and water gradually to form a soft dough. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.
Peel and mash the boiled potatoes in another bowl. Ensure there are no lumps.
Add salt, red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin seeds, finely chopped green chilies, and chopped coriander leaves to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to form a uniform stuffing.
Divide the dough and potato mixture into equal portions. The dough balls should be slightly larger than the potato balls.
Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and place a potato mixture ball in the center.
Bring the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside completely. Press lightly to flatten it.
Dust the flattened ball with a little wheat flour and gently roll it into a flat disc of about 6-7 inches diameter.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the rolled parantha onto the hot griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start appearing on the surface.
Flip the parantha and lightly brush it with a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Cook until the bottom side is golden brown.
Flip again and brush this side with a little oil. Cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough and filling.
Serve hot aloo paranthas with low-fat yogurt or chutney of your choice.
