Slit the chiles, remove seeds, and set aside.
Boil potatoes in salted water. Peel and mash them well. Add chili powder, chaat masala, and coriander leaves. Mix well.
Make a thick batter with the flour, water, turmeric powder and salt.
Fill the chiles with the potato mix. Dip the filled chiles in the batter so they are completely covered.
Deep fry the battered chiles in preheated oil until they turn golden brown.
