Step 1
Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add oil and rub with fingertips until breadcrumb texture forms.
Step 2
Gradually add warm water and knead into a stiff dough. Cover and let rest 30 minutes.
Step 3
Divide dough into 8 equal balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
Step 5
Add diced onion and green chilies. Sauté until onion turns golden, about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in boiled potatoes, peas, coriander powder, garam masala, and amchur. Mix well and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Let cool slightly.

Cut each dough circle in half. Wet the straight edge with water. Fold into a cone shape and seal the edge.
Step 8
Fill cone with 1.5 tbsp potato mixture. Wet the top edge and seal by pressing the sides together.
