Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, carom seeds, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Oil

    Add the oil to the flour mixture and rub it between your palms until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, and knead until you form a smooth and firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

  2. 5

    Add Onions and Spices

    Add chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent. Then add ginger, green chili, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

  3. 6

    Mix Vegetables

    Add the boiled potatoes, green peas, cilantro, and lemon juice. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Samosa Assembly

  1. 7

    Roll the Dough

    Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape, about 6 inches long.

  2. 8

    Shape the Samosas

    Cut the rolled oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge with water.

  3. 9

    Fill the Cone

    Stuff the cone with the filling, then seal the open edge by pressing it tightly with your fingers.

Frying

  1. 10

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  2. 11

    Fry the Samosas

    Carefully add the prepared samosas to the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 12

    Drain and Serve

    Remove samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney or sauce.
