In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and a teaspoon of salt. Gradually add water and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chili, ginger, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric, fresh coriander, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and shape them into balls. Similarly, divide the potato filling into 8 portions.
On a lightly floured surface, take a dough ball and roll it into a 4-inch disc using a rolling pin.
Place one portion of the potato mixture in the center of the rolled dough.
Gently bring the edges of the dough together, pinching them to seal the filling inside the dough ball.
Flatten the filled dough ball gently with your hands, then roll it out lightly into a 6 to 7-inch circle, applying gentle, even pressure to avoid the filling from spilling out.
Heat a tawa or non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with oil.
Place the rolled paratha on the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side or until bubbles appear and the bottom is slightly golden.
Flip the paratha and apply a small amount of oil around the edges. Press gently with a spatula to ensure it cooks evenly.
Cook until golden brown spots appear on both sides. Remove from pan and keep it warm in a clean kitchen towel.
Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Serve the vegan aloo pyaz paratha hot with vegan yogurt or pickles.
