Take one ball of the dough and roll it into a flat disc of 3 inch. Put the potato mixture ball on the disc and press it with hands so it settles down on the dough. Fold and close the disc from all the sides to make a kulcha.
Dust the kulcha with dry maida and press it with light hands to increase its size upto 3 inch. Now roll the kulcha into a flat disc of 6-7 inch with the roller. On top of the kulcha surface sprinkle some water and fix some cumin seeds, sesame seeds and chopped coriander over the at the top of the kulcha.

Flip the side of the kulchas after 3 minutes and bake again till both the surfaces turn brown in colour.
