Ingredients

• 1 package crescent roll dough
• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 0.5 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 1 tablespoon water (for sealing edges, if not using egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garam masala, ground coriander, turmeric, red chili powder (if using), and salt. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 5

Add the boiled and mashed potatoes to the pan along with the peas. Mix well to combine the spices evenly with the potatoes.

Step 6

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Let the filling cool slightly.

Step 7

Unroll the crescent roll dough on a flat surface and separate it into triangles as per the pre-cut lines.

Step 8

Place a spoonful of the prepared potato filling onto the center of each triangle.

Step 9

Fold the triangle over, sealing the edges by pressing gently with your fingers. Use a dab of water to secure the edges if needed. Alternatively, brush with an egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 10

Place the filled crescent triangles onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
