1/2 green chili, finely chopped

Steps:

Pressure cook the potatoes up to 4 whistles in the pressure cooker. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Mash the peeled potatoes thoroughly in a bowl.
Add all the spice powders to the potato dough.
In another bowl add flour and water. Slowly knead this mixture to obtain a flour dough.
Now pinch off small portions of the flour dough and fill it with the potato dough.
Make round balls and press each between the palms of your hands.
Roll out each ball, not very large, about 6 inch in diameter (The same way as you make rotis).
Heat a flat bottomed pan (tawa) and place the rolled out ball on it.
Cook on one side until brown specs appear pouring a little oil on the underside.
Flip and cook on this side too using a little oil until brown specs appear.
