Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a bowl add the flour, carom, 1 teaspoon salt and 4 tablespoon oil. Mix well till coarse in texture. Gradually add water to knead a semi-soft dough. Cover and rest 5 minutes.

* Step 2

Coarsely crush coriander seeds, cumin seeds and fennel seeds.

* Step 3

In a pan heat remaining oil and saute mustard seeds and crushed seeds.

* Step 4

Add ginger-garlic paste and fry 2 minutes

* Step 5

Add green chillies and the spices and salt and mix well.

* Step 6

Add the potatoes and mix well to coat with the masala. Add cilantro, chaat masala and mix. Remove and set aside to cool.

* Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the ghee and corn starch/flour into a smooth paste.

* Step 8

Roll the dough into a log and divide into half. Further divide each log into 5 pieces and make golf sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle and set aside.

* Step 9

1ake one rolled dough circle and smear with ghee paste. Stack another circle and again smear with ghee and top with next dough. Repeat till 5-6 rolled doughs have been stacked together.

* Step 10

Gently roll the stacked dough circles into a cylinder. Cut the cylinder horizontally from the centre into 2 pieces. Divide each half into 4-5 pieces.

* Step 11

With the layered side down, roll each piece into a rectangle shape.

* Step 12

Place the potato filling in a log form on the lower half. Apply water along the edges and fold the upper half over the filling. Press on the edges to seal. Trim excess dough to get a fine rectangle. Crimp the edges with a fork. Repeat likewise with all the pieces.
