Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup water
• 4 medium potatoes
• 0.5 cup green peas
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 inch ginger
• 2 green chilies
• 2 cups cooking oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the dough for the samosa by mixing whole wheat flour and salt in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the flour and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the mixture, kneading continuously until it forms a smooth, pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough is resting, boil the potatoes in a pot until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, peel and mash them roughly.

Step 5

In a pan, dry roast the coriander seeds and cumin seeds for a minute until aromatic, then coarsely crush them using a mortar and pestle.

Step 6

Heat a tablespoon of oil in the pan, add the freshly chopped ginger and green chilies, and sauté for a minute.

Step 7

Add the cooked and mashed potatoes, green peas, roasted and crushed spices, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to taste.

Step 8

Cook the potato mixture for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Stir in freshly chopped cilantro, mix well, and let the filling cool completely.

Step 10

Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 11

Roll out each ball into an oval shape, about 6 inches in diameter, then cut it in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 12

Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edges with a little water.

Step 13

Fill the cone with about 2 tablespoons of the potato filling and seal the top edge tightly with water.

Step 14

Repeat the process for all samosas.

Step 15

Heat cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully slide in a few samosas and fry them until golden brown and crisp, about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 16

Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining samosas.

Step 17

Serve the sugar-free aloo samosas hot with your favorite chutney.
