Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt-free baking powder
• 3 medium Potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 0.5 cup Green peas, frozen
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 small Green chili, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
• 2 cups Cooking oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt-free baking powder. Add 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading until a firm and smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add chopped onions and fry until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in grated ginger and chopped green chili, and saute for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Cook for an additional minute to allow the spices to release their aroma.

Step 7

Add the boiled and mashed potatoes and frozen peas to the spice mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Pour in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Mix and cook until the peas are heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt substitute, if using. Allow the filling to cool slightly.

Step 10

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a circle, about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 11

Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Moisten the straight edge of one semi-circle with a bit of water, and fold it into a cone shape. Press the edges to seal.

Step 12

Fill the cone with 2 tablespoons of the potato filling. Moisten the open edges and press to seal, forming a triangular samosa shape.

Step 13

Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 14

Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Step 15

Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
