Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Water
• 3 large Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium Red onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 4 cups Water (for boiling)

Directions

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in 4 cups of water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, peel, and mash them. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 3

Add finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until onions are translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, and red chili flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the frozen peas and mashed potatoes to the pan. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Let it cool completely.

Step 7

To make the pastry, combine flour and the remaining olive oil in a bowl. Rub the flour and oil together until they form a crumbly texture.

Step 8

Slowly add water and knead into a stiff dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 9

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball into a 6-inch circle and cut it in half.

Step 10

Form a cone with each half, filling it with 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture, and seal the edges with water.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush the samosas with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 12

Bake the samosas for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through baking.

Step 13

Serve warm with chutney or sauce of choice.
