Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon carom seeds
• 60 milliliters vegetable oil
• 3 medium boiled potatoes
• 100 grams frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 80 milliliters water
• 500 milliliters oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine flour and carom seeds. Add the vegetable oil and mix until the texture is crumbly.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture to form a firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Peel and roughly mash the boiled potatoes, ensuring some texture remains.

Step 4

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until fragrant.

Step 5

Add grated ginger, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and ground black pepper to the pan. Stir for about a minute.

Step 6

Add the mashed potatoes and peas to the spice mixture, stirring well to coat.

Step 7

Stir in lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each part into a thin oval on a floured surface.

Step 9

Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles. Form a cone shape with each semi-circle, sealing the edges with a little water.

Step 10

Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the potato mixture, then pinch and seal the top edge to enclose the filling.

Step 11

In a deep frying pan, heat oil to 170°C (340°F). Fry samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes each batch.

Step 12

Transfer fried samosas to a paper-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of chutney.
