1
Boil water in a heavy-bottomed pan with salt and oil, then gradually stir in the rice flour to form a dough, cover and let it rest.

Heat a pan with a little oil, add cumin seeds, ginger-garlic paste, and chopped green chilies, sautéing until fragrant.
3
Add the mashed potatoes, boiled green peas, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt, mixing well to create a cohesive stuffing.
4
Knead the rested rice dough until smooth, divide into small portions, roll into circles, and place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center.
5
Fold the dough circles into half-moon shapes, sealing the edges firmly by pressing with your fingers.

Arrange the stuffed farha dumplings in a greased steamer basket and steam over medium heat for about 15 minutes.
