Indian Samosas 🥟

Indian Samosas 🥟

Ingredients for the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons oil
• Approx. 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed for dough)

Ingredients for the Filling:

• 2 large potatoes, boiled, peeled, and mashed
• 1/2 cup peas (frozen or fresh)
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped
• Oil for frying

Directions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add oil and rub into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Gradually add water and knead into a stiff dough. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling: In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add peas, mashed potatoes, garam masala, cumin, coriander, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Turn off the heat and add lemon juice and cilantro. Mix well and let the filling cool.
3️⃣ Assemble the Samosas: Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then roll it out into a circle. Cut it in half. Take one half, form a cone shape, and seal the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with the potato mixture, then seal the open edges.
4️⃣ Fry the Samosas: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
5️⃣ Serving: Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce for dipping.

Enjoy the crispy, flavorful Indian Samosas, perfect for a snack or a delicious starter for any meal! 🍽️✨
