Samosa Recipe By Nisha Madhulika

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
• Water (as needed)
• 1/2 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
• Salt to taste

For the filling:

• 3-4 boiled and mashed potatoes
• 1 cup boiled and peas
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon dry mango powder (amchur)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Other:

• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ghee, carom seeds, and salt. Gradually add water to form a smooth and firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, and let them splutter. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears.
3. Add chopped green chilies, boiled mashed potatoes, boiled peas, and stir well. Cook for a few minutes.
4. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, dry mango powder, and salt. Mix everything thoroughly and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves, mix well, and let the filling cool down.
6. Divide the rested dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval or round shape.
7. Cut the rolled dough in half to form two semi-circles. Create a cone shape by folding one semi-circle and sealing the edges with water.
8. Fill the cone with the prepared potato-peas mixture and seal the open edge to form a triangular shape.
9. Heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Once hot, fry the samosas until they turn golden brown and crisp.
10. Remove the samosas and place them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
