Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 2 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled, and diced
  • 1/2 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, minced
  • 1 green chili, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. Add vegetable oil and mix until crumbly.
  3. Gradually add water a little at a time until you form a firm dough.
  4. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Add chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and green chili (if using). Sauté for 2–3 minutes until onions are soft and translucent.
  7. Stir in ground coriander, cumin seeds, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for another minute.
  8. Add the boiled potatoes and green peas to the pan. Mix well with spices and cook for 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and lemon juice; stir in fresh cilantro. Allow the filling to cool completely.
  9. Divide the rested dough into small balls. Roll each ball into thin circles.
  10. Cut each circle in half to form semi-circles. Fold one semi-circle into a cone shape by sealing the curved edges with water.
  11. Fill the cone with about 1–2 tablespoons of filling. Pinch the open edges together to seal tightly.
  12. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  13. Fry samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy—about 4–5 minutes per batch.
  14. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
