Method

Prepare a dough for Calzone mixing all the ingredients in a bowl.Slowly add lukewarm water to make a soft  dough.Keep it in a warm place to rise.Meanwhile heat oil in a medium skillet and splutter cumin seeds.Add ginger-garlic paste and saute till the raw smell vanish.Add chopped onion and chilly to this.Roast till light brown.Add turmeric,chilly and garam masala powders to this and roast till raw smell disappears.Add boiled vegetables ( I usually have carrots,beetroot,cabbage,beans and peas.Since it's colorful the kids will finish it within no time) and mashed potato to this and mix well.Cook for 3-5 minutes adding salt.Finally garnish with chopped coriander and lime juice.Now you may check for the dough.If it's risen well,punch it down and make 3 or 4 portions of the same.Prepare balls of similar size and roll out to medium thick discs.Dust the board with flour.Now again keep it for 10 more minutes in a warm place.
Preheat the oven into 200 degree.Spray the baking tray with oil.Now take the disc and arrange the filling on one side and cover with the other.Use your hand to press and close it first.Then press with a fork to give it a nice pattern.Repeat this with all the discs and arrange the calzones in tray.Brush with egg wash and bake 15 minutes or until golden brown.Serve with sauce.
