Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Water (as needed to form dough)
• 2 medium potatoes (boiled and mashed)
• 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt (to taste)
• Oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
3. Add the chopped onions and green chilies. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
4. Add the peas, mashed potatoes, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
5. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle. Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.
6. Take one semi-circle, and apply water along the edge. Shape it into a cone by folding and sealing the edges.
7. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture, seal the open end, and make sure no filling is exposed.
8. Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chutney or sauce.
