Prepare the Filling
In a pan, heat a little oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Stir in ginger, garlic, and spices (coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and salt). Add mashed potatoes and peas. Cook for a few minutes and mix well. Finally, add chopped cilantro and let the mixture cool.

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. Take one semi-circle, form a cone shape by sealing the straight edge, and fill it with the potato mixture. Seal the open edge by pressing it together.
