8.Roll each ball into a 5" circle.
9.Now take a potato masala  mix ball into the center of the circle you just made. Slowly lift the edges and bring together in the center to form a pouch. Press the ends together tightly to close the pouch. Once sealed, press down gently to flatten so that you have a flattened pouch.
