Method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt, add the oil and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth dough forms, then cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, peas, cumin seeds, garam masala, coriander powder, red chili powder, and lemon juice, mixing well to evenly distribute the spices.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, roll each into a ball and cover to prevent drying.
- Roll one dough ball into a thin oval about 1/8 inch thick, then cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles.
- Take one semi-circle, form a cone by folding and sealing the straight edge with a little water, then fill with the potato mixture and seal the top edge by pinching firmly.
- Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C), then fry the samosas for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
- Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on parchment paper before serving hot.
Notes
Serve hot with mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or yogurt dip.
