Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour (atta), a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp oil. Gradually add water and knead into a firm, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.

   10 minutes

   Resting the dough helps make the pastry more pliable and crisp.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tsp oil in a nonstick pan. Add cumin seeds; when they splutter, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in green peas and green chili. Cook for 2 minutes.

   4 minutes

   Use minimal oil to keep the filling light and healthy.

3. 3

   Add mashed potatoes, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, and fresh coriander leaves. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.

   3 minutes

   Taste and adjust salt or spice as needed.

4. 4

   Divide the rested dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each into a thin oval (about 6 inches). Cut each oval in half to make two semi-circles.

   4 minutes

   Sprinkle a little flour if needed to prevent sticking.
