Instructions
- Peel the boiled potatoes and cut them into very small cubes.
- To the green peas, add little water and cook in a microwave for 3-4 minutes. Drain off all the water and mash them a little with the back of a spoon.
- Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they crackle, add asafoetida, turmeric powder, onion, garlic and ginger. Add garam masala and stir fry for a minute.
- Add the potatoes cubes and the green peas. Add salt, red chili powder and dry mango powder. Mix well and let cook for a minute.
- Keep aside to cool.
- Thaw the pastry sheet by just keeping at room temperature for about 20 mins or thaw in a microwave for a few seconds to bring it to room temperature.
- Open the folds of the sheet and cut into long rectangles along the folds.
- Take one rectangle at a time and cut into equal squares. Repeat with all the rectangles.
- Take one square piece of the sheet at a time and add about 1 tbsp of the filling diagonally.
- Now bring in one corner tocover the filling and overlap the diagonally opposite corner. It will make a triangular shape.
- Firmly close the opening along the edge.
- Repeat with all the squares.
- Keep all the patties in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in an oven preheated to 400 degree Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
- Now flip all the patties to the other side and bake again for 10 minutes, or so, (the time may vary a little depending upon the oven) till they are golden brown in color.
- Serve hot with Sweet Tamarind Chutney or Coriander Chutney.
