Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice flour
• 1 cup Potato starch
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 large Russet potatoes
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1 medium, chopped Onion
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 2 cups Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in a pot of water until tender, about 10-12 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the 3 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter, then add chopped onion and grated ginger. Saute until the onions are golden brown.

Step 3

Add coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and turmeric powder to the pan. Stir for one minute to release the spices' aroma.

Step 4

Add the boiled potatoes and frozen peas to the spice mixture. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes. Add salt to taste, lemon juice, and fresh cilantro. Mix thoroughly and let the filling cool to room temperature.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, potato starch, xanthan gum, and salt. Add water gradually and knead into a smooth dough. Add more water if necessary to reach the correct consistency.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into an oval shape. Cut each oval in half to form two semicircles.

Step 7

Take one semicircle and fold it into a cone shape. Seal the edge with a little water, then fill the cone with the potato mixture. Seal the top of the cone with water, making sure there are no gaps.

Step 8

Heat the oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry the samosas in batches until they are crispy and golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

Step 9

Drain the fried samosas on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with chutney or sauce of your choice.
