Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 cups boiled and mashed potatoes Use starchy potatoes for best texture.
  • 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 piece green chili (adjust for heat) Adjust according to desired spice level.
  • 1 tbsp ginger (grated)
Spices
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds (toasted)
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala A pinch
  • to taste Salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp oil (mixed into the dough)
  • 1/2 cup water (added gradually)
  • 1 tsp salt (for dough)
  • oil for frying (neutral oil)

Method
 

For the Dough
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add in the oil, and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add water and knead the dough until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
For the Filling
  1. In a pan, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions until translucent.
  2. Add the ginger, green chili, and toasted cumin seeds. Stir for a minute before adding the mashed potatoes, green peas, and spices. Mix well and cook for 3-5 minutes.
Assembly & Frying
  1. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle.
  2. Cut the circle in half to create two semi-circles. Form a cone using each semi-circle and seal the edges with water.
  3. Fill each cone with the vegetable mixture, sealing the open edges by pressing firmly. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan and fry the samosas until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture. For a healthier version, consider baking the samosas instead of frying. Store leftover samosas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Experiment with spices according to your taste preferences – add cumin powder or chili flakes for extra heat.
