COOKBOOK / 35393
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, carom seeds, and clarified butter. Slowly add about half a cup of water and knead until you get a firm dough. If it feels too dry, add a little more water. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the mashed potatoes with crushed coriander seeds, chili powder, pepper, dry fenugreek, chili flakes, chaat masala, cumin powder, salt, chopped green chilies, onion, and fresh coriander leaves. Mix everything well.
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each one out into a thin circle, then cut it in half. Shape each half into a cone, seal the edges with a little water, and fill it with the potato mixture. Press the edges to close the pockets tightly.
Heat oil in a pan over low heat. Fry the pockets gently for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re golden and crispy.
Serve them warm with your favorite sauce or chutney and enjoy!
- Make sure the potatoes are well drained before stuffing to avoid sogginess.
- Use medium heat when frying to ensure even cooking without burning the outside.
- Let the pockets rest for a few minutes after cooking to help them stay crispy longer.
These crispy pockets are a delightful mix of soft, fluffy potatoes and a crunchy outer layer. They make a perfect snack or side dish that everyone can enjoy. The combination of textures and flavors is sure to satisfy your comfort food cravings.
Serve these pockets warm with a side of sour cream, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce. They also go well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, bake in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crunch instead of microwaving.
