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.

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.

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.

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.

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