Indian dumplings

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl, add the flakes of butter, and knead into a crumbly mixture. Pour in the water and use a fork to knead everything into a smooth dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Cover and let rest. For the filling, mash the cooked potatoes and thoroughly mix with the ginger, garlic, cumin, mustard seeds, black cumin, salt, chili peppers, and lemon juice. Divide the dough into 10-12 portions, then roll out into very thin flatbreads, halve, and shape into patties. Moisten the sides with water and press together. Spoon some of the filling into each patty, then moisten the top edges and seal tightly. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 180°C. Carefully add the dumplings, one at a time, to the oil and fry until golden brown.
