Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (about 2 cups mashed)
- 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp garam masala
- Oil for frying (enough for deep frying)
- Water (as needed to form dough)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water while kneading until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Cook the Filling: Boil potatoes until fork-tender; drain and mash warm potatoes. In a pan, heat oil and sauté cumin seeds until fragrant. Add green peas and spices, mixing well until heated through.
- Shape Samosas: Divide dough into small balls and roll each into thin circles. Cut into semi-circles, form cones by folding and sealing edges with water.
- Fill and Seal: Spoon filling into each cone and pinch the edges securely.
- Fry Until Golden: Heat oil in a deep pan until hot. Fry samosas in batches for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
- Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove samosas from oil; let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
