Prepare the outdoor cooking area for making Aloo Pies.

Gather ingredients: 6 cups of flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon of yeast, a little sugar, and salt.

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

Discuss the expected yield of Aloo Pies, estimating about 25 based on the size of the dough.

Note that the dough will not contain any oils or fats, making it a clean recipe.

Sanitize the working area before rolling out the dough.

Roll out the dough to the desired thickness using a rolling pin.

Cut the dough into circles for the Aloo Pies.

Fill the dough circles with the prepared filling from the previous day.

Seal the edges of the dough to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.

Let the filled Aloo Pies rest for about 5-10 minutes before frying them.

Heat oil in a pan for frying the Aloo Pies.

Fry the Aloo Pies until golden brown on both sides, ensuring they are cooked through.

Remove the Aloo Pies from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
