Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup water
• 3 medium potatoes, boiled and peeled
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 green chili, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup peas, fresh or frozen
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon amchur (dried mango) powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 0 vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ghee or unsalted butter and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading until a smooth and firm dough is formed. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 5

Add chopped green chili and minced ginger. Sauté for 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are tender.

Step 7

Mash the boiled potatoes and add them to the pan. Mix well with the peas.

Step 8

Season with coriander powder, garam masala, amchur powder, and salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the potato mixture from heat and stir in the chopped coriander leaves. Let it cool completely.

Step 10

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

Step 11

On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin oval shape.

Step 12

Cut the oval in half to create two semi-circles.

Step 13

Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone, and seal the edge using a little water.

Step 14

Fill the cone with approximately 1 tablespoon of the potato filling.

Step 15

Brush the edges with water and seal the samosa tightly, creating a triangular shape.

Step 16

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 17

In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

Step 18

Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

Step 19

Drain the samosas on paper towels and serve hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
