Method
Preparation of Filling
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan and sauté the cumin seeds until they start to splutter.
- Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
- Mix in the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the boiled potatoes and peas to the mixture. Sprinkle in turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt.
- Cook everything together for about 5-7 minutes, then turn off the heat and stir in chopped cilantro.
- Allow the filling to cool completely, or refrigerate for enhanced flavor.
Preparation of Dough
- In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with the oil and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add water, kneading until you form a smooth, pliable dough.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Assembling and Cooking
- Divide the dough into smaller balls and roll each into a thin oval.
- Cut it in half to create two semi-circles. Bring the edges together to form a cone, sealing with water.
- Fill the cone with the potato-pea mixture and seal the open end by pinching it.
- For frying, heat oil in a deep pan and carefully slide in the patties, frying until golden brown and crispy.
- For baking, brush with oil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Notes
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables or incorporate lentils for added protein. For vegan options, substitute boiled potato with mashed tofu or chickpeas. Use store-bought pastry dough for quicker prep.
