2. Take a pan, add oil and green chilies. Saute spring onions. Add mashed potatoes. Mix well. Add salt, cilantro, turmeric powder, red chili flakes, and black pepper powder. Combine properly. Stuffing is ready. Keep aside to cool down completely.
3. Make the equal size of balls of dough. Roll a ball in a round shape. Put a portion of the stuffing on a half side of flatbread which is rolled. Apply a little water on the edges of the flatbread. Fold the opposite empty side of the flatbread on the stuffing. Press the edges and seal properly with water applied and make a semi-circle shape.
4. Heat a frying pan, put Bolani, apply oil, and fry both sides till turns crispy and golden brown. Make all Bolani in the same way.
