• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 cup green peas
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• to taste salt
• oil for frying Ingredient 9

Method

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with vegetable oil and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   In a pan, heat a little oil and add cumin seeds. Once they crackle, add the boiled and mashed potatoes, green peas, salt, and garam masala. Mix well and cook for a few minutes. Allow the filling to cool.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin oval shape. Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles.

4. 4

   Take one semi-circle and form a cone by folding it and sealing the edge with water. Fill the cone with the potato-pea mixture and seal the open edge by pinching it tightly.

5. 5

   Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling. Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.

6. 6

   Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the samosas into the oil and fry until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

7. 7

   Remove the samosas and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with chutney or sauce.
