Step:

  1. Making the dough

    Add your flour baking powder and salt into a ball. Add in the cold butter/margarine, mix it well till it forms crumb-like texture. Add in your cold water in bits till it forms a dough. Set it aside(preferably in the fridge) for about 30 mins.

  2. Heat up your pan and cook your onions, garlic and ginger. Add in your vegetables, potatoes, and the spice mix that you have. Let it cook till ready. Set it aside to cool.

    PS: I did not have most of the listed ingredients.But add they make great additions too.
