- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour and melted butter. Gradually add water and knead the dough until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, cumin seeds, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and cilantro to make the filling.
