Method

Pastry Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

  2. 2

    Add Butter

    Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook Vegetables

    In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the finely chopped carrots, peas, and grated ginger, and cook for about 5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Spices

    Stir in the cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spices are well combined with the vegetables.

  3. 7

    Combine with Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the mashed potatoes. Mix well and let it cool.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 8

    Roll Out Pastry

    Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and divide it into equal portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

  2. 9

    Fill Patties

    Cut out circles from the rolled dough using a cookie cutter or a glass. Place a tablespoon of the vegetable filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing them together or using a fork.

  3. 10

    Fry Patties

    In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 11

    Serve

    Serve the vegetable patties hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
