Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup chickpea flour
• 0.75 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 tablespoons oil
• 1 cup cottage cheese (paneer)
• 1 cup boiled chickpeas
• 0.5 cup boiled green peas
• 2 medium boiled potatoes
• 1 medium chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cups oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, salt, and 1.5 tablespoons of oil. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth and firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.

Step 3

Add chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown. Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook the spices for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flavor.

Step 5

Add the crumbled paneer, boiled and mashed chickpeas, green peas, and boiled potatoes. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add salt to taste, mix in fresh chopped cilantro, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir to combine and set the filling aside to cool.

Step 7

Divide the resting dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 8

Roll out each ball into a circle of about 6 inches in diameter. Cut the circle in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 9

Take a semi-circle, form a cone by bringing together the straight edges, and seal them with a little water.

Step 10

Fill the cone with about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling mixture. Seal the open edges to form a triangular pocket.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Fry the samosas in batches until they are golden brown and crisp, about 5-6 minutes per batch.

Step 13

Remove fried samosas onto a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 14

Serve hot with mint chutney or tamarind sauce.
