Samosa Pinwheels | Vegan

You can give this dish your own name! Its flavored spiced up mashed potato rolled inside dough and deep fried. I prefer calling then samosa pinwheels because they taste so much like samosa but is in the form of pinwheels.
This is a very simple recipe and makes a good tea time snack.
The original recipe called for all purpose flour / maida, but I used wheat flour instead. Health conscious? :) maybe but its still deep fried! So thought will cut down few calories by using the wheat flour :)
I want to try a baked version of this recipe, will do it soon and update.
Makes 30 pinwheels.

In another mixing bowl,  mash the potatoes. Add in all the ingredients for the filling, mix well.
For the dipping batter, in a bowl add the corn flour and mix without lumps with the water. It should be a thin batter. Set aside.
Divide the dough into 2 parts.
Roll out the dough to a thin roti.

Spread the filling on the roti evenly with your hand.
Gently press the filling so it is even and layered.
Gently but tightly roll the dough and filling into a log.
At the end seal the edges with water.
Roll the log 10 times so the edges seal well.
