Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup water
- 4 medium potatoes
- 0.5 cup green peas
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 green chilies
- 2 cups cooking oil for frying
Instructions
Start by preparing the dough for the samosa by mixing whole wheat flour and salt in a bowl.
Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the flour and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add water to the mixture, kneading continuously until it forms a smooth, pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, boil the potatoes in a pot until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, peel and mash them roughly.
In a pan, dry roast the coriander seeds and cumin seeds for a minute until aromatic, then coarsely crush them using a mortar and pestle.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in the pan, add the freshly chopped ginger and green chilies, and sauté for a minute.
Add the cooked and mashed potatoes, green peas, roasted and crushed spices, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to taste.
Cook the potato mixture for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Stir in freshly chopped cilantro, mix well, and let the filling cool completely.
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Roll out each ball into an oval shape, about 6 inches in diameter, then cut it in half to form two semi-circles.
Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edges with a little water.
Fill the cone with about 2 tablespoons of the potato filling and seal the top edge tightly with water.
Repeat the process for all samosas.
Heat cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully slide in a few samosas and fry them until golden brown and crisp, about 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally.
Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining samosas.
Serve the sugar-free aloo samosas hot with your favorite chutney.
