Method

  1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and water. Knead lightly to make a dough.
  2. Set dough aside to relax, covered with a bowl or damp cloth
  3. Boil potatoes in salt water until tender. Peel and mash potatoes well.
  4. If whole cumin is used, heat in a dry skillet for a few minutes to release the flavour.
