Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 tsp yeast
- water (close to 1 1/2 cups)
- oil (for frying)
- 1 1/2 lb potato
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp green seasoning (chadon beni, cilantro, herbs)
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- pepper (optional)
Method
- Wash the potatoes, cut in half, add to a pot of boiling water and cook until completely soft, approximately 40 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt together, cut the butter into the mixture, add water a little at a time and knead to form a smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
- Season and mash the cooled potatoes with the onion, garlic, green seasoning, cumin, butter, salt and pepper.
- Divide the dough, roll out, fill with the potato mixture, fold over and seal the pies.
- Fry in hot oil until golden, remove and place on grease paper or napkins, then place in a sealed container to trap the heat and steam so the pies stay soft. Serve hot with channa or sauces.
