Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cumin seeds, and salt. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth and firm dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- 2
In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, sautéing for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the boiled and mashed potatoes, green peas, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and lemon juice. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
- 5
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disc about 6 inches in diameter.
- 6
Cut each disc in half to create two semicircles. Take one semicircle, and form a cone by bringing the edges together and sealing them with a little water.
- 7
Fill the cone with the potato and pea mixture, then seal the open edge by pressing it together with your fingers. Repeat for all dough pieces.
- 8
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
- 9
Remove the samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
