Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup water
• 3 medium potatoes
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 1 medium onion
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add 0.75 cup of water, kneading until the dough comes together into a smooth and firm ball.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest while preparing the filling.

Step 5

Boil 3 medium potatoes until tender, peel, and cut into small cubes.

Step 6

Finely chop 1 medium onion and 1-inch piece of ginger.

Step 7

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 8

Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 9

Add the chopped onions and ginger, sautéing until the onions are soft and translucent.

Step 10

Stir in 0.5 teaspoon of coriander powder, 0.5 teaspoon of garam masala, and 0.25 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Step 11

Add the cubed potatoes and 0.5 cup of frozen peas, mixing well to coat with the spices.

Step 12

Season with salt to taste and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 13

Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 14

Remove the pan from heat and let the filling cool completely.

Step 15

Divide the dough into 24 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.

Step 16

Flatten each ball into a small oval shape, about 4 inches long, using a rolling pin.

Step 17

Cut each oval in half to make two semicircles.

Step 18

Take one semicircle, fold it into a cone, and seal the edge with a little water.

Step 19

Stuff the cone with the potato and pea filling, leaving a small edge to seal.

Step 20

Seal the open edge firmly with water by folding the excess dough over the filled cone.

Step 21

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 22

In a deep, heavy-bottomed pot, heat 1 cup of vegetable oil for frying over medium heat.

Step 23

Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, which takes about 4-5 minutes per batch.

Step 24

Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 25

Serve hot with your favorite chutneys or sauces.
