   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice them diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. I have cut them into two different sizes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and brush them with olive oil from both sides. Toast the bread in the preheated oven until they are crispy and slightly browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

   In a mortar and pestle, coarsely powder the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and coriander seeds. Remove them onto a plate. Then, add ginger and green chilies to the mortar and crush them into a fine paste. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the crushed cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and fennel seeds. Sauté until they start to splutter. After that, add ginger and green chili paste and sauté for a minute.

   Next, turn the heat to low and add all the spices: black salt, amchur, regular salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, black pepper, red chili flakes, and garam masala. Mix everything together and cook for a few minutes. Now, add the boiled and chopped potatoes and stir well. Sauté for 2 minutes, and then mash the potatoes slightly while cooking to create a textured filling. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Remove the filling from heat and set it aside.
