All-purpose flour 2 cups
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
Ghee or oil 1/4 cup
Potatoes 3 to 4 medium-sized
Cumin seeds 1 teaspoon
Chopped green chillies 1 teaspoon
Grated ginger 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder 1/2 teaspoon
Garam masala 1 teaspoon
Oil for frying as needed

Take note
Use caution when handling hot oil to avoid burns. Be careful not to overstuff your samosas, as they may burst while frying.

1

Prepare the dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of melted ghee or oil. Gradually add water while kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and firm. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

Make the potato filling

Boil 3 to 4 medium-sized potatoes until they are cooked through. Peel the potatoes and mash them coarsely. In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and add 1 teaspoon each of cumin seeds, chopped green chillies, and grated ginger. Sauté for a minute, then add the mashed potatoes, along with 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool.

3

Assemble the samosas

Take a portion of the dough and roll it into a thin oval-shaped disc. Cut the disc in half. Moisten the straight edges of the semicircle with water and form a cone shape by overlapping the moistened edges. Fill the cone with 2-3 tablespoons of the potato filling, avoiding overstuffing. Seal the top of the cone by pressing the moistened edges together. Repeat this process for the remaining dough and filling.

4

Fry the samosas

Heat enough oil in a deep pan or pot for deep frying. Gently lower the samosas into the hot oil and fry on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
