Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 large, chopped Onions
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0 as needed Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly add water while stirring to form a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.

Step 3

Add chopped onions and green chili to the pan. Sauté until onions are translucent.

Step 4

Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring the spices are well incorporated.

Step 5

Add chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. Mix well and remove from heat. Allow the onion mixture to cool slightly.

Step 6

Heat oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat.

Step 7

Meanwhile, take a small amount of the batter and spread it on your palm to form a flat disc. Place a spoonful of the onion mixture in the center and fold to form a small triangle or desired shape, sealing the edges well.

Step 8

Carefully drop the prepared samosas into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure the oil is not too hot to avoid burning.

Step 9

Once fried, remove the samosas and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm with chutney or dip of choice.
