1

In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and ajwain. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

In another bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, boiled green peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, amchur, and salt. Mix well to form the filling.

3

Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a small circle, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and fold the edges to seal it properly.

4

Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Once hot, carefully drop the kachoris into the oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy.

5

Remove the kachoris and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney.
