• 100 milliliters warm water
• 200 grams potatoes
• 50 grams green peas
• 1 piece green chili, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt together.

Step 2

Add the ghee to the flour and rub it with your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Add warm water gradually and knead into a firm dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Boil the potatoes until tender. Peel and dice them into small cubes.

In a pan over medium heat, add cumin seeds. Once they start to sizzle, add the grated ginger and green chili.

Add the diced potatoes and green peas, then stir continuously.

Step 7

Mix in coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in chopped coriander leaves. Allow the filling to cool completely.

Step 9

Divide the dough into small, equal sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape.

Step 10

Cut the oval in half to create two semi-circles.

Step 11

Form each semi-circle into a cone shape and fill with a spoonful of the potato mixture.

Step 12

Seal the edges with a little water, ensuring no filling is visible.

Step 13

Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat.

Step 14

Fry samosas in batches until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
