Samosas

Ingredients

• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •1/2 cup water
• •3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •3 medium potatoes, boiled and diced
• •1 cup frozen peas
• •2 teaspoons cumin seeds
• •1 teaspoon garam masala
• •1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• •2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• •oil for frying vegetable oil

Directions

1. 1Mix flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons oil; add water gradually to form a stiff dough. Rest for 15 minutes.
2. 2Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan, toast cumin seeds, then add diced potatoes, peas, garam masala, cayenne, and cilantro. Cook for 3 minutes and let cool.
3. 3Divide dough into 6 balls and roll each into a thin circle. Cut circles in half and roll each half into a cone shape.
4. 4Fill each cone with a spoonful of potato mixture and seal the edges with water.
5. 5Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F and fry samosas in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
6. 6Drain on paper towels and serve hot with tamarind chutney or mint yogurt sauce.

💡 Samosa filling must be cool and dry before wrapping. Warm potato filling softens dough and encourages seams to open during frying.
