How to Make Potato and Pea Samosas

Ingredients

2-3 large chopped potatoes
1 cup peas
1 diced onion
1 tsp masala powder
Herbs of your choice (recommended: ginger, garlic, jeera/cumin seeds)
1 and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil

How to make it

Steps

1 Mix the dough ingredients.

2 Knead in order to moisturize all of the flour.

3 Wet if dough is hard, until all parts are wet; added moisture will allow the dough to reach the correct consistency.

4 Knead additionally until dough is soft and pliant.

5 Heat a frying pan coated with a slight amount of oil.

6 Add herbs and seeds to heated pan.

7 Wait until garlic/ginger has been heated sufficiently and is no longer raw.

8 Fry potatoes, peas, and onions in the pan, with masala powder stirred in, until readiness (for three to four minutes; tasting will ensure filling is fully cooked).

9 Separate the dough into six to eight even chunks.

10 Flatten these chunks with rolling pins into circular shapes.

11 Halve the circles, yielding semicircles of flat dough.

12 Place about a tablespoon of filling in the center of the half-circle.

13 Fold the edge of the circle over the filling, creating a triangular cone shape.

14 Pinch the two open edges of the three-sided shape closed with a small amount of water.

15 Repeat steps 12-14 until you have created twelve to fifteen samosas.

16 Place samosas into frying dish in about 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) of oil.

17 Fry in the vegetable oil until the whole of each samosa’s crust is an even golden-brown color.

18 Move individual samosas as they reach completion out of the pan and onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil, replacing them with uncooked samosas after doing so.

19 Cool samosas on paper towel for two minutes.

20 Serve with ketchup or other sauces of your choice.
