In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Mash them smoothly and keep aside.
In a pan, heat the vegan butter over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the green chili and ginger, sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and the remaining salt. Stir for 30 seconds.
Add the mashed potatoes, garam masala, and coriander leaves. Mix well until all spices are evenly incorporated. Let this mixture cool.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Take one dough ball, dust with flour, and roll into a 4-inch circle.
Place 2 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center. Gather the edges and seal the filling inside.
Gently roll the stuffed ball into a 6-inch circle, ensuring the filling does not break through.
Heat a tawa or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled parantha onto it.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip. Spread a little cooking oil on both sides as needed. Cook until golden and crisp.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to make more paranthas.
Serve the hot paranthas with vegan yogurt or pickle.
