Ingredients

For the potato stuffing:

  • 4 potatoes boiled & mashed
  • ½ boiled green peas
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 green chilies chopped
  • 6 curry leaves chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 2 teaspoon red chili powder

For the dough:

  • 2 cups plain flour maida
  • 3 tablespoon cooking oil
  • ½ teaspoon ajwain

  • 4 cups cooking oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients and knead into a stiff dough with sufficient water. Rest the dough for 30 minutes.
  • For the stuffing: Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, add ginger, green chilies, curry leaves and saute for few seconds.

  • Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out each part into a large thin rectangle sheet (approx. 10 inches by 12 inch). Spread half of the potato mixture on the sheet evenly.
  • Start rolling the sheet tightly till the end till you get a nice big roll.
  • Slice the roll with a sharp knife about ½ inch of thickness. Repeat the step with another half of the dough. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sliced pinwheels.
  • Heat oil in a deep bottom saucepan and deep fry the pinwheels on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes.
