Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Green peas
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 Green chili (finely chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Water
- 5 tablespoons Oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Mash them in a bowl and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add grated ginger and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté for 1 minute.
Stir in the turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt.
Add the green peas to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the mashed potatoes, chopped cilantro, and lemon juice. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Shape the potato mixture into small patty shapes, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with water to create a thin batter. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
Dip each potato patty into the flour batter, then coat it with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Heat 5 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried Samosa Cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm with chutney or yogurt-based sauces for dipping!
