Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Cottage cheese (Paneer)
• 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
• 2 medium Boiled potatoes
• 0.5 cup Peas
• 1 small Onion
• 1 teaspoon Ginger garlic paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cups Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

To prepare the dough for the samosas, mix whole wheat flour with salt and olive oil in a large bowl. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth and firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside while you prepare the filling.

Step 2

For the filling, crumble the cottage cheese into a large mixing bowl. Add the cooked chickpeas and boil until the potatoes are fork tender, then mash them and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Add finely chopped onion and saute until translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute. Add peas, mashed potatoes, chickpeas, and crumbled cottage cheese to the pan, mixing well.

Step 5

Season the filling with garam masala, red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and mix in the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice. Allow to cool.

Step 6

Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape. Cut the oval in half to form two semicircles.

Step 7

Take one semicircle and fold it into a cone shape. Seal the edges using a little water on your fingers. Fill the cone with a spoonful of the filling and seal the edges to form a triangular samosa.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 9

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully slide a few samosas into the oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 10

Fry until the samosas are golden brown and crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes per batch.

Step 11

Remove and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
