Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Heat the oil in a pan, add the cumin seeds for 30 seconds, then stir in the mashed potatoes, peas, garam masala, chilli powder and salt. Cook for 2–3 minutes, then cool slightly.
Cut the pastry into long strips. Spoon a little filling onto one end of each strip, then fold repeatedly into triangles, sealing the edge with a little melted butter.
Place on the tray, brush with more melted butter and bake for 20–25 minutes until crisp and golden.
Serve hot with tamarind chutney.
