Now heat 1 tbsp of oil in a khadai and fry the rest 1/3rd jeera. Then add this to the smashed potatoes and peas. Add rest of the masala except ginger, green chilies and coriander leaves to it. Cool on a thali and add the above 3 ingredients. Add salt and the remaining jeera.

Make small balls with the dough and roll out into puris and cut into half. Then fold the dough into a triangle shape. Seal the cut edges with water and fill it with the prepared masala. Now seal the opening and roll the edges. Deep fry in hot oil till it turns out to golden colour. Serve it with chutney.
