Add the flour to a large bowl. Sprinkle the oil over the flour and mix with your hands. The mixture should feel like sand.
2. Step
Add a bit of water at a time and knead into the flour. When the dough is ready, it should form a ball and not stick to your fingers.
3. Step
Cover the dough with damp towel so it doesn’t dry out.
4. Step
Heat the oil in a deep pot until it reaches 350˚F (170˚C).
5. Step
Form the dough into ping-pong size balls. Dip the balls into a small bowl of canola oil and roll them out into flat 2-inch (5 cm) circle shapes.
6. Step
Immediately drop the rolled dough into the oil. Use a spider to keep the dough submerged in the oil. Once it is puffed up, turn over and cook other side. Fry until golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
7. Step
ALOO: Melt the ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Once the ghee is completely melted, add the cumin seeds and toast until aromatic, 2-3 minutes.
8. Step
Add the onion and ginger to the pot. Cover and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
9. Step
Add the turmeric and mix well. Add the chopped tomato and season with salt. Cover and cook until the tomato is very soft, about 10 minutes.
10. Step
Add the curry powder and mix well. Add the potatoes and peas, and mix well to incorporate. Add the water, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the soup thickens.
