Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you will need to make samosas:
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup water
2 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 cup peas, boiled and mashed
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon red chili powder
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make delicious samosas:
Begin by making the dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and oil. Mix well. Gradually add water and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute.
Add onions and fry until they turn golden brown. Add peas and mashed potatoes. Mix well.
Add coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll out each ball into a circle of about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Cut the circle in half. Take one half and shape it into a cone, sealing the straight edge with a little water.
Fill the cone with the potato-pea mixture, leaving some space at the top for sealing.
Seal the top with water and press gently. Repeat with the rest of the dough and filling.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Add the samosas and fry on medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
Serve hot with mint or tamarind chutney.
