Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup water (more as needed)
2 medium starchy potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
Oil for frying

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add water while kneading to form a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl. Add green peas, cumin seeds, coriander powder, garam masala, and chili powder; mix until well combined.
Divide the rested dough into small balls. Roll each ball into thin circles (6 inches in diameter) and cut them in half.
Fold each semi-circle into a cone, sealing the edge with water. Fill with 1-2 tablespoons of the filling and seal the top edge firmly.
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry samosas until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
