Samosa

Cooking Process

1. Step 1: Prepare the Dough:
   
   
   
   • In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and oil. Rub the oil into the flour until the mixture is crumbly.
   
   
   • Add water gradually and knead to form a firm, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
   
   
   
   


2. Step 2: Prepare the Filling:
   
   
   
   • Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat.
   
   
   • Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle, then add ginger and green chili, and sauté for a minute.
   
   
   • Add the diced potatoes, green peas, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well.
   
   
   • Cook the filling for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, then garnish with fresh coriander. Set aside to cool.
   
   
   
   


3. Step 3: Shape the Samosas:
   
   
   
   • Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball.
   
   
   • Roll each ball into a thin oval or circle, then cut it in half to form two semi-circles.
   
   
   • Form each semi-circle into a cone shape by sealing the straight edge with water. Fill the cone with the potato mixture and seal the top edge by pressing it closed.
   
   
   
   


4. Step 4: Fry the Samosas:
   
   
   
   • Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
   
   
   • Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes per batch.
   
   
   • Remove and drain on paper towels.
   
   
   
   


5. Serve:
   
   
   
   • Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind chutney on the side.
