Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Water
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 0.5 cup Green peas
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- for frying Cooking oil
Instructions
Step 1: Begin by making the pastry dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix well, using your fingers to create a crumbly consistency.
Step 2: Gradually add the water while continuously mixing, until the mixture forms a firm and pliable dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Step 3: While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes and boil them in salted water until tender. Drain the water and transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Step 4: Slightly mash the boiled potatoes, leaving some chunks for texture. Mix in the green peas.
Step 5: In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter before adding the chopped onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 6: Add ginger paste and garlic paste to the pan, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Step 7: Mix in the coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, and red chili powder. Stir for another minute to roast the spices.
Step 8: Add the spiced onion mixture to the mashed potatoes and peas. Add the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and lemon juice. Mix well until everything is combined. Stir in the chopped cilantro and allow the filling to cool.
Step 9: Take the dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a thin oval using a rolling pin.
Step 10: Cut each oval in half to create 16 semi-circles. Form each semicircle into a cone by bringing the edges together and sealing with a little water.
Step 11: Fill each cone with the potato mixture, leaving some space at the top. Seal the open edge using a little water to form a triangular shape.
Step 12: Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the samosas in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 13: Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 14: Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
