Ingredients
2 cups All-purpose flour
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Vegetable oil
½ cup Cold water (approx.)
3 medium Potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and diced
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 medium Onion, finely chopped
1 inch Fresh ginger, grated or minced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1–2 Green chilies, finely chopped
½ cup Frozen peas, thawed
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
1 teaspoon Ground coriander
½ teaspoon Turmeric powder
½ teaspoon Garam masala
½ teaspoon Amchur (optional)
¼ teaspoon Red chili powder (optional)
½ teaspoon Salt (to taste)
¼ cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
4–5 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the vegetable oil and rub it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs
- Gradually add cold water, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth, cover, and let it rest for 30 minutes
- Boil the diced potatoes until tender, drain, and set aside
- Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, onion, ginger, garlic, and green chilies; sauté until onion is translucent. Add spices and cooked potatoes, mix well, and stir in cilantro. Let the mixture cool
- Divide the rested dough and shape into ovals, cut in half, and form cones. Fill with the potato mixture, seal edges securely, and repeat with remaining dough
- Heat oil in a pan to 300-325°F (150-160°C), fry samosas in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels
Notes
Ensure the filling is completely cooled before assembling.
Do not overcrowd the frying pan to maintain oil temperature.
Samosas can be frozen before frying for convenience.
