Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 0.5 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)
- 1 tablespoon water (for sealing edges, if not using egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the garam masala, ground coriander, turmeric, red chili powder (if using), and salt. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the boiled and mashed potatoes to the pan along with the peas. Mix well to combine the spices evenly with the potatoes.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Let the filling cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough on a flat surface and separate it into triangles as per the pre-cut lines.
Place a spoonful of the prepared potato filling onto the center of each triangle.
Fold the triangle over, sealing the edges by pressing gently with your fingers. Use a dab of water to secure the edges if needed. Alternatively, brush with an egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the filled crescent triangles onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
