Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp carom seeds
2 tbsp oil
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup boiled and mashed potatoes
1/4 cup green peas
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1 green chili, finely chopped
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp carom seeds, and 2 tbsp oil. Mix well.
- Gradually add 1/4 cup water and knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil and add 1/2 tsp cumin seeds. Once they start to splutter, add 1/2 tsp grated ginger, 1 finely chopped green chili and 1/4 cup green peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1/2 tsp coriander powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala powder, and salt to taste. Mix well.
- Add 1/2 cup mashed potatoes and mix everything well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and turn off the heat.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roll each part into a thin oval shape.
- Cut the oval in half, so you have two semi-circles.
- Take one semi-circle and form it into a cone, sealing the edges with water.
- Fill the cone with the potato and pea mixture and seal the open end with water.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to make 6 samosas.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, gently drop the samosas into the oil and fry until golden brown.
- Remove the samosas from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind chutney.
