2 tablespoons grated coconut
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 fresh green chilies, minced
1 tablespoon fresh coriander leaves, minced
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 ½ cups all purpose white flour
½ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon cayenne
2 teaspoons melted butter
½ cup water (just enough to make a nice dough)
ghee or vegetable oil, for frying (You can deep fry or shallow fry.)

1
Prepare the filling first, so that it will be cool by the time the dough is ready.
2
If you spread it while hot, it will make holes in the dough.

Boil the potatoes (whole and with the skins on) until soft.
4
Rinse under cool water and peel.

Mash with fork (I put it through a ricer).
6
Add grated coconut and next 8 ingredients.
7
Spread the mixture on a surface to cool.
8
Mix flour, turmeric, cayenne together in a large bowl.
9
Rub in the melted butter, then add the water slowly and mix into a dough.
10
Knead until soft.
11
Roll out dough on a well floured surface (or wax paper) into a rectangle (about 1/8 inch thick).
12
In other words quite thin.
13
Spread the cooled mixture evenly.
14
Roll up into a tight roll.
15
Using a sharp, serrated knife, cut into slices of 1/2 inch/1 cm thick.
16
Press them flat and form the slices so they are round and place on a platter.
17
Heat the ghee or oil in a wok or deep fry pan.
18
Fry for 3-5 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden brown.
19
Serve hot with chutney.
