- 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Gradually add 1 cup of water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and sauté until they splutter.
- Add the finely chopped onion and green chilies. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
- Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and mushy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder, and salt to taste. Cook the spices for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the boiled and mashed potatoes, boiled green peas, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a small circle. Place a spoonful of the potato and peas filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges together and seal the filling inside the dough.
- Roll out each stuffed dough ball into a flatbread (chapati) using a rolling pin.
- Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the rolled chapati on the hot griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear. Brush with oil while cooking.
- Serve the spicy stuffed chapati with potato and peas hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
