  • 1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 50g green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 50g corn (fresh or frozen)

For the Pastry:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
  • 100g butter or ghee, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup water (approximately)

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Heat butter in a pan and add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them crackle. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add ginger and green chilies, cook for 1 minute. Add mashed potatoes, turmeric, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well. Add green peas, corn, coriander, mint, lemon juice, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined. Cool completely before using.
  2. Make the Dough: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and carom seeds. Add cold butter pieces and rub with fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water and knead into a stiff dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
  3. Roll the Dough: Divide dough into 12-15 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 6 inches diameter). Cut each circle into 2 triangles.
  4. Stuff the Triangles: Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling on one half of each triangle. Fold the triangle in half again to create a smaller triangle. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
  5. Deep Fry: Heat oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Carefully place potato triangles in hot oil, 3-4 at a time. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. Season: While still warm, sprinkle chaat masala powder and dry mango powder on the fried triangles.
  7. Serve: Serve hot with green chutney, tamarind chutney, or yogurt dip. Best enjoyed immediately while crispy.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I bake instead of frying?

A: Yes, you can brush with oil and bake at 190°C for 15-20 minutes, but they won’t be as crispy as fried ones.

Q: How do I store these?

A: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.

Q: Can I make them in advance?

A: You can prepare and stuff the triangles up to 4 hours ahead. Fry just before serving for best results.

Q: What oil is best for frying?

A: Use neutral oils like vegetable oil, sunflower oil, or groundnut oil for deep frying.
