Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 50 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 80 milliliters Water
• 350 grams Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 100 grams Green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
• 1 piece Green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0 as needed Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Add vegetable oil to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead to form a firm, smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, add the diced potatoes and cover with water. Boil until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add grated ginger and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the turmeric, ground coriander, and ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 8

Add boiled potatoes, green peas, and salt to the pan. Mash the potatoes slightly while mixing to combine.

Step 9

Stir in garam masala, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then let the filling cool completely.

Step 10

Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll each into a ball.

Step 11

Roll each ball into a thin oval, about 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 12

Form a cone shape by folding one semi-circle in half lengthwise, sealing the straight edge with water.

Step 13

Fill the cone with a spoonful of the potato filling, leaving enough space to seal the edges.

Step 14

Seal the open edges of the cone using water to form a triangle-shaped samosa. Repeat with the rest of the dough and filling.

Step 15

Heat oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat. Test by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle and rise to the surface slowly.

Step 16

Fry the samosas in batches, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 5-6 minutes per batch.

Step 17

Remove the samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Step 18

Serve warm with chutney or yogurt dip.
