Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

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

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Peel and mash them in a bowl.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add ginger paste, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to the sautéed onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Mix in Potatoes and Peas

    Add the mashed potatoes and green peas to the skillet. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in chopped cilantro and remove from heat.

Assembling and Frying

  1. 7

    Roll the Dough

    Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape about 6 inches long.

  2. 8

    Form the Samosa

    Cut the rolled dough down the center. Take one half, shape it into a cone, and seal the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with the prepared filling and seal the top by pressing the edges together.

  3. 9

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 10

    Fry the Samosas

    Carefully slide the filled samosas into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
