Equipment

Ingredients

For the potato filling

For assembly

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 2 tablespoons milk for brushing tops

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Stir in the onion and cook until softened. Add ginger-garlic paste and green chilies; cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Mix in peas, turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala, chaat masala, and salt. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until peas are tender.
  • Stir in mashed potatoes and cilantro, mixing well. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  • Roll the thawed puff pastry sheet lightly to even it out. Cut into a 3x3 grid to make 9 equal squares.
  • Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Fold diagonally into a triangle and press edges with a fork to seal. Brush the tops with milk and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  • Garnish with extra cilantro and serve hot with tamarind or mint chutney.

Notes

  • Always cool the potato filling completely before stuffing to prevent soggy pastry.
  • Work with puff pastry while it’s cold; if it softens too much, return it to the fridge briefly before shaping.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top before baking.
