Prepare the Filling
Boil the potatoes until soft, then peel and mash them. In a pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add grated ginger, peas, mashed potatoes, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for a few minutes. Stir in chopped cilantro and set aside to cool.

Assemble the Samosas
Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin oval. Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, form a cone by folding it and sealing the edge with water. Fill the cone with potato filling and seal the open edge by pressing it together.
