Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup water (or as needed)
- 2 medium potatoes (about 300g), boiled and mashed
- 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen, cooked)
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying (approximately 2 cups)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water until it forms a soft dough. Knead for about 5 minutes, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest.
- Boil potatoes until tender. Drain and mash until smooth.
- In a skillet, heat oil, sauté cumin seeds until fragrant. Add mashed potatoes, peas, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt; mix well and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool.
- Divide dough into small balls; roll each into thin circles and cut in half. Form cones with each half-circle, fill with potato-pea mixture, and seal edges with water.
