Cookd masalas for potato
Method
Combine the salt, oil and flour in a bowl. Add the water and wet the flour using your finger tips. Use some extra water if there are any leftover dry flour bits. Clump together a rough dough. Cover and rest for 10 mins.
Once rested, knead the dough for 1-2 mins until it is non-sticky and smooth. Cover and rest again for 10 mins.
To make the filling: Mash the potatoes and combine the vegetables and seasonings ad mix well. Portion the mixture evenly to roughly the size of the dough roundels.
Roll out the dough into a log and cut into even sized pieces.
Flatten each piece into thick discs. Stuff the filling into the dough carefully without any gaps or holes.
Using some flour to dust, roll them into discs gently while slowly, the thickness is of choice. Cook on a preheated tava, until small bubbles appear on both sides. Then apply ghee/ butter and cook until golden brown on both sides and serve hot.
