In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, 1 tablespoon of oil, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala.

Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix boiled and mashed potatoes, green peas (if using), chopped coriander leaves, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Set aside.

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll them into balls.

Flatten each ball with your palm and place a spoonful of the filling mixture in the center.

Gather the edges and pinch them together to seal, shaping them into round discs.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the shaped kachoris on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Brush the remaining oil over the kachoris for a golden crust.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the kachoris turn golden brown and crispy.

Let the baked kachoris cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce for a delightful snack or appetizer.
