Instructions

Prep-work

Boil the potatoes in your desired way. I pressure cooked my potatoes using a stove-top pressure cooker for three whistles. If you use an electric pressure cooker, cook for 5 to 6 minutes and release the pressure naturally. Once cooked, let the potatoes cool, peel, and chop them into cubes.
Heat a pan or kadai and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let the mustard seeds splutter, and then add the onions and garlic. Saute until the onions turn soft.
Add the salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
Then add the boiled potatoes and mix well. Ensure the spices are evenly coated on the potatoes—Cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
Now add the crushed fenugreek leaves and one tbsp of ketchup. Mix well and further cook for a couple of minutes and turn off the heat. The filling is now ready. Let it cool a bit.
Warm the roti and place it on a plate or parchment paper. Spread one tsp of green chutney or to taste. Place the approx 2 to 3 tbsp of the prepared potato filling. Drizzle some ketchup and cilantro. Now fold each end of the roti towards the center and seal them using small wooden skewers. If packing for lunch, roll the bottom with the parchment paper.

Notes

Adjust the spices and salt to taste.
You can roll these like burritos too. Check my aloo frankie recipe for reference.
Make sure the potatoes are not too mushy. We want soft potato cubes that don't break and become mushy for this roll. While gold and russet potatoes work well, you can also use purple or red potatoes.
You can use store-bought or homemade green chutney.
Substitution and variations
Instead of potatoes, you can use paneer, tofu, or cauliflower. You can use a mix of veggies for a veg roti roll. You can add some carrots, cabbage, and colored bell peppers.
You can make potato curry with assorted spices. Instead of regular red chili powder and garam masala, you can use dabeli masala or garam masala, including chaat masala, for a tangy flavor.
While tempering, you can use fennel seeds instead of cumin seeds. Refer to this Instagram reel of mine, and you can make the potato curry similarly.
Alternatively, you can skip the spices, use Schezwan sauce or chutney, and make it like a fusion roll.
Instead of roti, use a tortilla or plain parathas for the base.
