Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Oil
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 2 large, thinly sliced Onions
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon, crushed Coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 3 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0 as needed Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 3 tablespoons of oil and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add 0.5 cup of warm water to the flour mixture, kneading to form a smooth, elastic dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add 2 thinly sliced large onions and sauté until they become translucent.

Step 4

Add 2 finely chopped green chilies, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon of crushed coriander seeds, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of garam masala to the onions. Stir well.

Step 5

Cook the onion mixture for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let it cool. Add 3 tablespoons of freshly chopped coriander leaves and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, approximately 5 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Take a semi-circle, brush water on the straight edge, and fold it into a cone shape.

Step 8

Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of the prepared onion mixture. Seal the open edge by pressing firmly and twisting a pleat, ensuring it is completely closed.

Step 9

In a large pot, heat oil for deep frying over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in a few samosas.

Step 10

Fry the samosas until they are golden brown and crisp, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 11

Remove the fried samosas using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the onion samosas hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
