Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.5 cup water
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 number large potatoes
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 0.25 cup coconut milk
• 0.25 cup coconut flakes
• 1 medium onion
• 2 number garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 2 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and coconut oil. Mix until the texture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Slowly add water into the flour mixture, kneading until a firm dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.

Step 5

Add finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

Step 6

Stir in turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the potatoes, coconut milk, and green peas to the pan. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes until the peas are tender.

Step 8

Stir in coconut flakes, lemon juice, and chopped cilantro. Season with remaining salt as needed. Let the filling cool.

Step 9

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a circle, about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 10

Cut the circle in half, forming two semi-circles. Fold one semi-circle into a cone shape, sealing along the straight edge with water.

Step 11

Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the potato mixture. Seal the open end tightly, pinching well to ensure it is secure.

Step 12

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes each.

Step 13

Remove the samosas and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of chutney.
