Mix flour, water, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

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

Boil potatoes until tender, then mash them in a bowl.

Add chopped green onions, spinach, cilantro, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and chili powder to the mashed potatoes.

Mix the filling until well combined and season with salt and black pepper.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball.

Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.

Place a spoonful of filling on one half of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry each bolani until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with yogurt or chutney.
