  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually add the cold water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
