• 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Oil
• 3 cups Oil (for deep frying)
• 2 cups Boiled potatoes
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

• 0.5 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango powder)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine rice flour, chickpea flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Add warm water and oil, then mix until a dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.

Step 4

Add onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until onions are translucent.

Step 5

Add coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and amchur. Stir for a minute.

Step 6

Add boiled potatoes and peas, then mix well with the spices. Cook for about 5 minutes. Mash the potatoes slightly using a spoon.

Step 7

Add salt and chopped cilantro, mix thoroughly, then remove from heat. Let the filling cool.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball.

Step 9

Roll each dough ball into a thin oval shape using a rolling pin.

Step 10

Cut the oval in half, forming two semi-circles.

Step 11

Form each semi-circle into a cone, sealing the edge with water. Fill each cone with the potato mixture, then seal the top to form a triangular shape.

Step 12

Heat oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat.

Step 13

Fry samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Step 14

Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
