Begin by preparing the gluten-free dough. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 120 ml of water and 1 tablespoon of oil, mixing until a smooth and pliable dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add more water a teaspoon at a time.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the filling.
For the filling, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, turmeric, and garam masala to the onion. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fish fillets to the pan, breaking them into smaller pieces with a spatula. Cook until the fish is cooked through and the mixture is relatively dry, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped green chili and fresh cilantro. Adjust salt to taste. Turn off the heat and let cool.
Divide the rested dough into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball.
Roll out each ball on a surface lightly dusted with gluten-free flour into thin circles (6-7 inches in diameter). Cut each circle in half, forming two semi-circles.
Form a cone with a semi-circle by folding the straight edge, ensuring the corners overlap. Seal the edge with a little water.
Fill the cone with approximately 1 tablespoon of the fish mixture. Seal the top edge with water, pressing the dough together firmly to ensure it's closed.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
In a large, deep pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of chutney or dipping sauce.
