Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup water
• 3 medium potatoes
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 finely chopped green chili
• 2 cups neutral oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

To make the dough, in a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Gradually add water and knead into a firm dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender. Peel and roughly mash them once slightly cooled.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add ginger paste and chopped green chili, sauté for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add mashed potatoes, peas, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust salt to taste.

Step 5

Add chopped fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice to the filling mix. Stir well and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool completely.

Step 6

Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and flatten it into a thin oval shape.

Step 7

Cut the oval in half. Take one half and form it into a cone, sealing the edge with a little water.

Step 8

Fill the cone with 1 to 2 tablespoons of potato filling and seal the top edge with water. Pinch to ensure a tight seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

Step 9

Heat neutral oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

Step 10

Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm with tamarind chutney or mint chutney.
