Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the oil and mix with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

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

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a pot, boil the potatoes until tender. Once cooked, peel and mash them in a bowl.

  2. 4

    Cook the Filling

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

  3. 5

    Mix in Spices

    Add ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant.

  4. 6

    Combine with Potatoes

    Add mashed potatoes and peas to the pan. Mix well, and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in fresh coriander leaves and remove from heat.

Assembling and Frying

  1. 7

    Shape the Samosas

    Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape. Cut it in half to form two semi-circles.

  2. 8

    Form the Cone

    Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with the potato-pea filling, and seal the open edge by pressing it together.

  3. 9

    Fry the Samosas

    In a deep pan, heat 4 cups of oil. Once hot, gently drop the samosas in batches. Fry until golden brown and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
