Cut cooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

Chop onion and grate ginger using a microplane.

Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet with high sides.

Add whole spices (coriander seeds, cumin seeds, yellow mustard seeds) to the oil and wait for them to start popping.

Add chopped onion and grated ginger to the skillet and cook until the onions are translucent.

Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir them with the oil and spices.

Add ground spices (chili powder, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, mango powder, cayenne pepper) to the potato mixture and stir well.

Add a little water to the mixture and cook for 5-6 minutes on medium heat, mashing the potatoes slightly to ensure they are not too chunky.

Season the mixture with salt, add defrosted frozen peas and fresh cilantro, and stir everything together.

Turn off the heat and transfer the filling to a bowl to cool for about 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Take a sheet of filo dough and brush it with melted butter.

Fold the filo dough in thirds and brush the edges with butter to ensure they crisp up during baking.
