butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a subtle flavor and is dairy-free.

scotch bonnet pepper

💰Cheaper: jalapeño

Jalapeño provides heat but is milder and more accessible.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes add sweetness and nutrients.

Combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of yeast, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt in a bowl.

Slowly add 1.5 cups of water to the dry ingredients, mixing until combined.

Knead the dough until smooth, then set aside to rise for 30 minutes, covered with a damp towel.

In a pot, heat 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil and add cumin seeds, roasting for about 1 minute.

Add half of a medium onion to the pot and sauté for about 1 minute.

Add 0.5 teaspoons of minced garlic and mix well.

Add boiled and mashed potatoes to the pot, along with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of cumin powder; mix thoroughly.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, then turn off the stove and let the filling cool.

After 30 minutes, check the dough; it should have doubled in size.

Roll the dough into a cylindrical shape and divide it into 8 equal parts.

Roll each part into a ball and let them rise for another 10-15 minutes, covered.

Flatten each dough ball, leaving more thickness in the center for the filling.

Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each flattened dough piece.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing them together.
