Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup oil or ghee
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Water (as needed)
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and green beans)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and oil. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent.
- Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for a few more minutes.
- Add the mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. Season with salt and garam masala. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape and cut it in half to form two semicircles.
- Take one semicircle, form a cone shape, and seal the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture and seal the open edge. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Fry the samosas until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with chutney or sauce of your choice.
