Ingredients:
For the Dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Water, as needed
For the Filling:
4 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 cup green peas, boiled
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 green chilies, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Salt, to taste
Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
For Frying:
Vegetable oil
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and vegetable oil.
Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth, firm dough.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute until the raw aroma disappears.
Add turmeric powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, and garam masala. Mix well.
Add boiled and mashed potatoes, boiled peas, and salt. Combine the ingredients thoroughly.
Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld. Finish with fresh coriander leaves. Set aside to cool.
Shape and Fill the Samosas:
Divide the rested dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval or circle.
Cut the circle in half to form two semi-circles.
Create a cone by folding one semi-circle and sealing the edges with a little water.
Fill the cone with the prepared potato-pea mixture and seal the open edge to form a triangular samosa. Repeat for all samosas.
Fry the Samosas:
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan for frying.
Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in the samosas, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the samosas using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the crispy potato samosas hot with your favourite chutney or sauce.
These homemade samosas are bound to be a hit at any gathering. Enjoy the delightful combination of spiced potatoes and peas encased in a crispy golden crust!
