  • 2 tbsp semolina flour

  • Other ingredients
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

Dough

  • Mix flour, sooji, salt, and oil.
  • Add water as needed to make soft dough .
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth. Let it rest at least 15 minutes.

Filling

  • Heat a tbsp of oil .
  • Add all spices and switch off the gas .
  • Add boiled mashed potatoes and green peas .
  • Mix everything and switch on the gas .
  • Add mint and coriander leaves.
  • Sauté the filling mixture for 3-5 minutes till everything is well incorporated .
  • Remove in a big plate.
  • Let cool .

Making Pinwheels

  • Mix the 3 tablespoons all purpose flour and ¼ cup water to make a thin batter. Set aside.
  • Knead the dough for a minute before rolling.
  • Divide dough into two equal parts and make them into balls .
  • Roll each one into about 11 inch diameter.
  • Spread one part of the filling evenly over one of the rolled dough, slightly pressing.
  • Roll the sheet gently, but firmly until you have a nice firm log.
  • Use a little water to seal the end of the sheet firmly,
  • You could roll the log a couple of times on the counter , so that the log is nice and round .
  • With a sharp knife slice the both ends about 1 inch long then slice the log into ½ inch thick, this should make about 14 -16 pinwheels.
  • Press each pinwheel lightly.
  • Similarly make pinwheels from the second sheet.
  • You could deep fry these to a nice golden , but I used a airfyer and they were pretty crunchy,
