Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 200 grams
• water - 100 milliliters
• salt - 1 teaspoon
• oil - 2 tablespoons (for dough) + for frying
• potato - 100 grams, boiled and mashed
• peas - 50 grams, cooked
• carrot - 50 grams, finely chopped
• onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• green chili - 1, finely chopped
• cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• lemon juice - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and 2 tablespoons of oil to form a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a pan, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and ginger, sauté until onions are translucent.
3. Add the chopped carrots, boiled potatoes, and peas, cooking for 5 minutes. Stir in the garam masala, cumin, coriander, green chili, and lemon juice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and mix in chopped cilantro. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
4. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a thin circle. Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.
5. Take one semi-circle and form a cone by folding it. Seal the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with the vegetable mixture and seal the open edge by pressing it together.
6. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling.
7. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
8. Serve hot with chutney or sauce of your choice.
