Method

  2. 2 Sauté mustard seeds and curry leaves in oil, then pour into mashed potatoes.
  3. 3 To make the filling fragrant, add the mustard seeds separately and then mix them in; sprinkling plain flour will result in a bland filling.
  4. 4 Shape into balls and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm them up.
  5. 5 Mix besan flour with turmeric and asafoetida until a thick paste adheres to the spoon.
