Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water and knead until you get a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling:
   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
   • Add the garlic, ginger, and green chili (if using). Sauté for another minute.
   • Add the shredded chicken, cumin powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
   • Stir in the mashed potatoes and cilantro. Mix until everything is well combined. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
3. Assemble the rolls:
   • Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle or oval shape.
   • Place a spoonful of the chicken-potato filling in the center of the dough. Fold the edges over the filling and roll it tightly, sealing the edges. Repeat for all rolls.
4. Cook the rolls:
   • For frying: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the rolls until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
   • For baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolls on a baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the chicken potato rolls hot with ketchup, mint chutney, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips:

• Add grated cheese to the filling for a cheesy twist.
• Use store-bought puff pastry or spring roll wrappers for a quicker version.
• These rolls can be made ahead and frozen before frying or baking. Just thaw and cook when ready to serve.
