Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Carom seeds (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for dough)
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 3 medium Potatoes (boiled and peeled)
- 0.5 cup Carrots (diced)
- 0.5 cup Green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 unit Green chili (finely chopped, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and carom seeds (if using).
Step 2
Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add cold water, a little at a time, and knead into a firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
Step 4
For the filling, mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl and set aside.
Step 5
In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
Step 6
Stir in grated ginger and green chili (if using), cooking for 1 minute.
Step 7
Add diced carrots and green peas to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender.
Step 8
Mix in ground coriander, ground cumin, garam masala, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Step 9
Add the mashed potatoes, mixing thoroughly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 10
Stir in chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Allow the filling to cool completely.
Step 11
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 12
Roll out each ball into a thin oval about 6 inches long. Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles.
Step 13
Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edges with a little water.
Step 14
Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the potato mixture, then seal the top by pinching the dough together. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Step 15
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil—it should sizzle and rise to the surface slowly.
Step 16
Fry the samosas in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 17
Remove the samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Step 18
Serve warm with chutney or dipping sauce of your choice.
