Mix all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.

Add water gradually and knead to form a soft dough.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Boil potatoes until soft, then peel and mash them.

Heat oil in a pan and sauté cumin seeds and chopped onions until golden.

Add mashed potatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to the pan.

Mix well and cook for a few minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.

Divide the dough into small balls and flatten each ball into a circle.

Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the edges over the filling and seal tightly, forming a ball again.

Roll out each stuffed ball gently into a flat disc.

Heat ghee or oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Fry each paratha until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Serve hot with curry or chutney.
