Method
Dough Preparation
Mixing the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and oil, kneading until you form a smooth and elastic dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
Preparing the Filling
In a pan, heat a little oil and sauté the chopped onions until golden brown. Add chopped green chilies, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Cook for a minute before adding the mashed potatoes and chopped coriander leaves. Season with salt to taste and mix well. Set aside to cool.
Assembly and Cooking
Stuffing the Vaatte
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll out each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center and fold the edges to seal the filling inside. Gently roll it out again into a thin disc.
Cooking the Vaatte
Heat a skillet or tawa over medium heat. Add a little oil or ghee. Cook each vaatte on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
