Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Potatoes (medium-sized)
- 0.5 cups Green peas
- 1 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Basil pesto
- 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 12 pieces Spring roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and boil until tender (about 10 minutes). Drain and mash lightly, leaving some small chunks for texture.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil on medium heat. Add the boiled potatoes, green peas, red chili flakes, ground cumin, and salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the basil pesto and chopped cilantro. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and water to create a thick paste. This will act as your adhesive to seal the samosas.
Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place a heaping tablespoon of the potato-pesto filling near one corner of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangular shape. Continue folding tightly, sealing the final edge with the flour paste.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until all samosas are assembled.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce. Enjoy your spicy potato pesto samosas!
