Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water
• 3 medium Potatoes
• 1 medium Carrots
• 0.5 cup Green peas
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cups Cooking oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 3 tablespoons of oil and mix well until it has a crumbly texture.

Step 2

Gradually add water, a little at a time, to form a firm but smooth dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into small cubes. Boil them together with the green peas in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and cilantro. Grate or finely mince the ginger.

Step 5

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and toast for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet and sauté until the onion turns translucent.

Step 7

Stir in the coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and turmeric powder. Cook for 1 minute to allow the spices to bloom.

Step 8

Add the boiled vegetables to the skillet and mix well to coat with the spices.

Step 9

Stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice. Adjust salt to taste and set the filling aside to cool completely.

Step 10

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter, and cut it in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 11

Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a small amount of water. Fill the cone with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling and seal the top edge tightly. Repeat for all samosas.

Step 12

Heat the cooking oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 13

Carefully fry 3-4 samosas at a time, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

Step 14

Drain the fried samosas on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 15

Serve hot with your favorite chutneys or dipping sauces.
