Recipe
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the filling:
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
- n a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Slowly add the warm water and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, onion, salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, and vegetable oil.
- Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten into a disc with a rolling pin.
- Place a tablespoon of the filling onto the center of each disc and spread it out, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush the bulani with a little oil and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with chutney or yogurt sauce.
