Loved the filling, but thought the phyllo dough was unauthentic. So I got this recipe from an Indian friend...
2 cups of plain flour
¼ tsp salt
4 tbsp of oil/ghee
4 tbsp of water
Method for base
1. Mix all the ingredients for the base together with your fingers until it forms a dough.
Add tiny bit more water if needed.
2. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes or until it is smooth.
3. Put it in a plastic bag and set aside for 30 minutes or longer, in the refrigerator if possible.
Then I think you take a walnut-sized portion of dough, and then roll it out to about 4 inches across. Put a couple of TB of filling in, fold dough over to make a semicircle, press seams together, roll edges over, and fry 'til golden. Sorry for the long post, but hope it helps. =)
