Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 medium potatoes (boiled and mashed)
- 1/2 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add cold water while kneading until you form a soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Make the filling: Mash boiled potatoes in a bowl. Mix in green peas, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and salt until well combined.
- Roll out the dough: Divide the rested dough into balls. Roll each ball into circles about six inches in diameter.
- Shape the samosas: Cut each circle in half to form semi-circles. Fold one semi-circle into a cone, sealing the edge with water. Fill with potato mixture and seal the top edge.
- Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry samosas in batches until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- Serve hot: Drain on paper towels and serve with chutney.
