Ingredients:
For the filling:
- 2 large potatoes, boiled, peeled and mashed
- 1 cup boiled green peas
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon teaspoon asafetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Water, as needed
Instructions:
- Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour,salt, and vegetable oil. Rub the oil into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water and knead until you have a smooth and firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and green chilies.Sauté until onions turn translucent. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute. Stir in mashed potatoes, boiled green peas, ground cumin, asafetida, ground fennel, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for a few minutes until flavors meld together. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Shape the samosas: Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half to form semi-circles. Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edges with water. Fill the cone with the prepared filling and seal the open edge by pressing firmly together.
- Fry the samosas: Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the stuffed samosas in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Serve: Remove the samosas using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
Enjoy your delicious homemade samosas!
