- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 120 milliliters Warm water
- 300 grams Potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 50 grams Green peas
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 Green chili, finely chopped

- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- for frying Oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the dough for the samosa. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add ghee and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add warm water and knead into a firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Next, prepare the filling. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add grated ginger and chopped green chili, and sauté for a minute.
Add boiled and mashed potatoes and green peas to the pan. Mix well.
Stir in garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined.
Remove the pan from the heat and add lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well and let the filling cool completely.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape, about 4-5 inches in diameter.
Cut each oval into two halves. Take one half and form a cone by bringing the cut edges together, sealing the edge with a little water.
Fill the cone with the prepared potato-pea filling, ensuring not to overfill. Seal the open end of the cone with water, pinching the edges to form a triangle.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. Once hot, carefully drop a few samosas into the oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining samosas.
Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
