Instructions
Boil the potatoes until tender, peel, and dice them. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of carom seeds, and 0.25 cup of oil. Mix well until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
Gradually add 0.5 cup water, knead into a firm dough, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 0.5 teaspoon of cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
Add finely chopped 1-inch ginger piece and 1 chopped green chili. Sauté for a minute.
Add 0.5 cup of peas, and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
Add diced potatoes, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder, 0.5 teaspoon chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon garam masala, 0.5 teaspoon amchur powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, add 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Mix and let cool.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into an oval shape.
Cut each oval into two to make semi-circles. Form a cone shape by sealing the edges with water.
Stuff each cone with the potato filling, seal the open end by pressing the edges together.
Heat approximately 3 cups of oil in a deep frying pan. Once hot, reduce to medium heat.
Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Drain samosas on a paper towel.
Serve warm with mint chutney or tamarind chutney.
