1 green chili, chopped (optional)
-
1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon garam masala

Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions for Preparing the Filling:

Prepare the Filling: Heat oil in a pan and sauté chopped onions and green chili until golden. Add the mashed potatoes, crumbled paneer, and spices (cumin powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt). Stir well to mix everything evenly. Cook for a few minutes and set aside to cool.
