Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 medium Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Peas
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, mash, and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 3

Add finely chopped onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté until onions turn golden brown.

Step 4

Add the peas, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Mix in the mashed potatoes, salt to taste, and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Allow the filling to cool.

Step 6

In a bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and mix well.

Step 7

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, kneading to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a thin oval shape using a rolling pin, dusting with flour as needed.

Step 9

Cut each oval in half. Fold each half into a cone shape, sealing the edges with a little water.

Step 10

Fill each cone with the potato mixture and seal the top tightly, pinching the edges together.

Step 11

Heat 2 cups of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 12

Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
