For stuffing:

Ingredients:

1 medium Potato (boiled)

2 green Chilli (finely minced)

1/2 Yellow onion (finely chopped)

2tsp Cilantro (chopped)

1 1/2tsp Ginger-Garlic paste

1/4tsp Chilli powder

1/2tsp Cumin powder

1/2tsp Chaat masala powder

1 1/2tsp Oil

Salt

How to:

• Grate or mash the boiled potato and keep it aside.

• Heat oil in a pan, add ginger-garlic paste and saute until raw smell disappears.

• Then add onions and green chilli along with salt and saute until onions are slightly brown.

• Add chilli powder, cumin powder and chaat masala powder, saute for a min, then add cilantro and cook for another min.

• Reduce the flame, add the mashed potato, mix well with the masala and cook for a min.

• Switch off, transfer the masala to a plate and let it cool.

How to roll:

• Divide the dough into equal pieces, roll each of'em in between your palms and make lemon-size balls out of it.
• Place the dough on a flat, flour-dusted surface and start flattening the dough around the edges.(Make sure its thick at the center and thin at the edges.)

• Now place 2tsp of  the filling at the center and start grabbing the sides, bringing it together, seal it and twist the excess dough off.

• Now, carefully flatten the masala filled dough with a rolling pin. Also make sure its rolled evenly.

• Remove the excess flour, place it on a hot griddle and cook for a couple of mins.

• Flip it, apply ghee or butter and cook until it browns evenly on both the sides. 

Transfer it to a plate and serve hot with any curry.
