Ingredients:
• 2 large, fully boiled Potatoes
• 1 Onion
• Garlic and Ginger paste – As per taste
• 1 tsp chilli powder (cayenne)
• 1/2 tsp pepper flakes
• Salt to taste
• 1/2 cup Green peas
• 1/4 cup chopped chives (garlic leaves)
• 1/4 cup chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• Cooking oil (or Olive oil)
• Water
• Tortilla shells (flour/wheat) or chapatti cooked or frozen
Method:
- Mash the boiled potatoes with hands or a pav bhaji masher.
- In a pan, heat up the oil, and add chopped onions, garlic and ginger.
- Saute until soft and translucent.
- Then, add chopped tomatoes and peas.
- Add the chilli powder, pepper flakes and salt to taste and saute until fragrant.
- Add the mashed potatoes, and leafy vegetables and mix well.
- You can add some water or yoghurt if the mixture is too dry.
- Meanwhile, prepare the shells.
- Begin by placing one on a clean surface (chopping board or clean counter top).
- If they are hard or brittle, pat them with a damp cloth to soften them.
- Fill the cooked mixture inside half a side of the tortilla shell (or chapatti).
- Fold over the other half and make a half-moon sandwich shape.
- The ends can be glued using either water or egg or cooked rice, or ‘sewn’ with toothpicks.
- To add shine to the surface of the calzone, brush lightly with beaten egg before cooking or olive oil after cooking.
- Fry the calzone in hot oil until crisp and golden in colour.
- Or bake at 300 degree F in a convection oven.
- Chop the calzone into 2 and serve hot alone or with sour cream or salsa or chutney.
