Samosa

These classic Samosas feature a crispy, flaky pastry filled with a warmly spiced potato and pea mixture. A beloved snack or appetizer, perfect for sharing with friends and family.

Steps

1
Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain, peel, and mash them roughly.
2
In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Rub in 20 ml of vegetable oil until crumbly. Gradually add water and knead until a firm, smooth dough forms. Cover and let it rest.
3
Heat 10 ml vegetable oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, and garam masala, cook for 1 minute. Add frozen peas and mashed potatoes. Mix well and season with the remaining salt. Let it cool.
4
Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape. Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, moisten the straight edge with water, and form a cone. Fill the cone with the potato mixture, then seal the edges to form a triangle. Repeat for all samosas.
5
Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok to about 170°C (340°F). Carefully place a few samosas into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
