Preparation

Pumpkin filling
Cut pumpkin into chunks and grate into a bowl. Add garlic, walnuts, salt, chilli powder and coriander seeds. Mix well.
Potato filling
Peel potatoes and boil until soft. Leave to cool. Cut in half and grate into bowl. Add onion, garlic, oil, chilli salt, pepper and coriander. Gently mix through the potato.
Onion filling
Chop garlic chives into small pieces. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
Dough
Place flour in a large mixing bowl and gradually add water, mixing with your hands until it becomes doughy. Leave the dough to settle for 15-20 minutes. Separate dough into large handfuls and rolling each one into a ball shape.
Scatter some flour on the bench surface and roll the balls flat with a rolling pin, keeping the circular shape.
Place a spoonful of desired mix on one side of the rolled dough. Using the back of the spoon spread the mixture evenly across one half of the dough. Fold the other half over the top of the mixture to form a semi-circle. Pat down and sprinkle with a little extra flour. Heat oil in a pan. Place the bulani one at a time in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes each side until golden brown.
Serve bulani with a sauce made from yoghurt mixed with dried mint, powdered chilli and salt.
