Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (for dough)
• 6 tablespoons water
• 3 medium, peeled and diced potatoes
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 medium, diced carrot
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon, grated ginger
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to preference) red chili powder
• 2 tablespoons, chopped cilantro
• 3 cups (as needed) vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt for the dough. Add vegetable oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 2

2. Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, kneading continuously until a firm dough forms. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

3. Meanwhile, boil the diced potatoes, carrots, and peas in salted water until tender. Drain well and set aside.

Step 4

4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent.

Step 5

5. Add ground cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and red chili powder to the skillet. Stir well to toast the spices, about 1 minute.

Step 6

6. Gently fold in the boiled vegetables and chopped cilantro. Adjust the salt to taste and mix thoroughly. Allow the filling to cool completely.

Step 7

7. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a round disc approximately 6 inches in diameter.

Step 8

8. Cut each disc in half to form two semi-circles. Shape each semi-circle into a cone by folding and sealing the edges with a little water.

Step 9

9. Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture, leaving some space to seal the top. Pinch and seal the edges tightly.

Step 10

10. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

Step 11

11. Remove the samosas from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
