Chef tips
To achieve a crisp, golden bolani, ensure you roll the dough out very thinly. Use room-temperature filling to stop the dough from tearing or becoming overly soft. Serve the hot pastries with a cooling yoghurt and mint dip. Little ones will enjoy mashing the potatoes and using a fork to crimp the edges before they go into the pan.
