Ingredients:

• 1 package of puff pastry, thawed
• 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten
• Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.

7. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
8. Spread the potato and pea mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border on all sides.
9. Starting at one of the long edges, roll the puff pastry up tightly into a log.
10. Brush the beaten egg over the exposed edge of the puff pastry to help seal the roll.
