Samosa

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup ghee or vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 tea spoon cumin seeds
• 1 tea spoon coriander powder
• 1/2 tea spoon chili powder
• 1 tea spoon salt
• oil for frying vegetable oil

Method

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, ghee (or vegetable oil), and salt. Mix well.

2. 2

   Gradually add water to the flour mixture and knead it into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   In another bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, cumin seeds, coriander powder, chili powder, and salt. Combine thoroughly to make the filling.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval or circle and cut it in half to form two semi-circles.

5. 5

   Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge. Fill it with the potato mixture and seal the open edge by pressing it tightly.

6. 6

   Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Once hot, gently drop the prepared samosas into the oil, frying until golden brown on all sides.

7. 7

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