Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 large potato, boiled and mashed
  • 1/2 cup green peas
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon amchur (dried mango powder)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour and oil. Add water gradually to form a stiff dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  3. Add the mashed potato, green peas, garam masala, chili powder, turmeric, coriander, amchur, and salt. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
  4. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle. Cut each circle in half to form semi-circles.
  5. Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edges with water. Fill the cone with the potato and pea mixture, then seal the top edge with water.
  6. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the samosas until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
