Ingredients:

• 1 package of empanada dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated

• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp garam masala

• Yogurt dipping sauce (yogurt, lemon juice, salt, African spices)

Instructions:

1. Boil the diced potatoes until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. In a pan, heat some oil and add the cumin seeds. When they start to sizzle, add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another minute.
4. Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and chili powder, and cook for a few seconds until fragrant.
