Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet ready-rolled pastry sheets
  • 180g cauliflower cut into small florets about 1cm
  • 2 medium-sized potatoes cut into small cubes
  • ½ onion chopped
  • 25g peeled peanuts
  • 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
  • ½ teaspoon Panch Phoron
  • 2-3 dry red chilli
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon Garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets about 1cm. Cut the onion and potatoes into small cubes.
  • Put a frying pan with a little oil over medium-high heat. Lightly toast the peanuts and set them aside for later.
  • Fry the cauliflower in the same oil with a pinch of salt and turmeric until golden brown. Set aside.
  • Add a little more oil to the pan, add Panch Phoron and dry red chilli. When they start to crackle, add the onion with a pinch of salt.
  • When the onion is transparent, add chopped potatoes and fry until golden brown. Add fried cauliflower, grated ginger, turmeric, ground cumin, Garam Masala and salt. Mix and add a little water.
  • Put the lid on and cook over a low flame until tender. Uncover and add the roasted peanuts. Mix well and let it cool before stuffing.
  • Stuff the pastries and seal them well by pressing them with a fork. Fry them in plenty of oil until golden.
  • You can also bake them. Place them on a baking tray and brush them with egg. Bake them in a preheated oven at 180º for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden.

Notes

Tips and Tricks:

  • You can replace the Panch Phoron with cumin seeds or Nigella seeds.
  • If you don't like peanuts, you can add green peas or cooked chickpeas, which also give it a nice taste.
