This recipe makes 12-14 samosas
Ingredients:
For the dough:
2 cups (250g) Flour
1/4 cup (60ml) Oil or melted ghee
1/4 cup (60ml) Water
1/2 teaspoon Salt
For the filling:
2 tablespoons Oil
3 Potatoes, boiled (500g)
1 cup (150g) Green peas, fresh or frozen
2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
1 Green chili, finely chopped
8-10 Cashews, crushed (optional)
2-3 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon Ginger paste
1 teaspoon Coriander seeds, crushed
1/2 teaspoon Garam masala
1 teaspoon Chili powder
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
1 teaspoon Turmeric
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Salt to taste
1/4 cup (60ml) Water
Directions:
1. Make the dough: in a large mixing bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the oil and then start mixing with your fingers, rub the flour with the oil until the oil is well incorporated. Once incorporated, the mixture resembles crumbs.
2. Start adding water, little by little and mix to form a stiff dough (the dough shouldn’t be soft). Cover the dough and let rest for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile make the filling: roughly chop/mash boiled potatoes, set aside. Heat oil in a large pan, add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, chili powder, turmeric and garam masala, cook for 30-60 seconds to release the flavours. Add crushed garlic, ginger paste, chopped green chili and cook for 1 minute. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add chopped potatoes, green peas, lemon juice, water and salt, cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add crushed cashew and cook for 1 minute more.
4. Turn the heat off, add chopped coriander leaves, stir well and set aside to cool.
5. Shape the samosas: Once the dough has rested, give it a quick knead. Then divide the dough into 6-7 equal parts. Shape into balls.
6. Start working with one ball at the time, keep the remaining dough balls covered all the time. Roll out each ball into an oval, about 6-inches long and 4inches wide. Then cut it into two parts. Coat the edges of each semicircle with water. Pick the two corners of the semicircle and bring them together, edges overlapping slightly, to form a cone. Press down on the seam to stick it. Fill the samosa with the potato filling, around 1-2 tablespoons. Don't overfill the samosa. Now, brush the edges again with water, then pinch the edges and seal the samosa. Repeat same process with the remaining dough and filling, keep filled samosa covered with a moist kitchen towel while working.
7. Fry the samosa: heat oil to 350F (175C). Drop the samosas into hot oil, 4-5 pieces at the time. Reduce the heat to medium. Fry for 4-5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
8. Drain on paper towels before serving. Serve with your favorite sauce.
Notes:
• Traditionally samosa dough made with ajwain seeds (carom seeds), I couldn’t find it, so I skipped this step. I you want use ajwain seeds, add it the flour mixture when making the dough.
• Don’t fry the samosas in too hot oil. Add the samosa to hot oil (350F/175C), after 1 minutes, reduce the heat to medium-low.
• If you want to bake the samosas: brush each samosa generally with oil. Bake in preheated 350F (175C) for 30-40 minutes, until golden.
• You can freeze the samosa after filling and shaping it.

Tried this recipe and my whole family can't stop eating them... No joke😃❤️🌈. Also I found the filling in this recipe was enough for dough made of a total of 3 cups of flour. The filling took me more time to make than the dough. Also, if you want to eat fresh samasos or you don't have time, put the filling inside the samasos, then keep them all in a freezer bag inside the refrigerator for upto 2 days I'd say. Fry them when you want to eat them fresh. Good luck :) And thank you so much for this recipe. (p.s. I'm only 20 yrs old so if you're younger or older, you can definitely do it. I believe in you.)

i usually don’t comment on videos but i made samosas using this recipe (i opted for curry powder instead of garam masala as i didn’t have any) and they tasted so good. if you’re looking to make them from scratch follow this recipe, did not disappoint. 10/10

best samosa recipe i have tried. Dough is perfect... Russian wife said it was the best dough she has ever had for a pierogi, flaky, buttery. Filling was perfect, delicious perfect spiciness. Best of all it was easy for a beginner. Also the video lesson was top notch and high quality. I love this format for cooking recipes.

[@coxxycabee]

Everything ALWAYS tastes/works better in fat vs oil. Fat is so expensive to buy however. I've begun rendering my own, but it's a slow process to acquire a decent amount of reasonably neutral flavor fat. (I mention the neutral flavour because Lamb is common in my country, and a possible prolific provider of fat but it implants lamb flavour heavily.)

I've made this exact samosa recipe twice, and my family loves them💯. As for me? I can't get enough off them with green chutney and red chutney 🤤. I made them again tonight for the 3rd time (without frying) and put them in the freezer. That way, I'll have more to snack on in the future. I'm Hispanic and LOVE Indian food 🥹🤤❤. Btw I get about 18 samosas with these measurements. I always end up having about half a cup left of potato filling leftover. Absolutely no food goes to waste in my home, so I save the leftover aloo/potato filling and make it into sandwiches the next day. To the sandwich, I put mayo & green chutney on each slice of bread, then put the aloo filling plus a few cubes of paneer cheese (I sometimes add thin fresh tomato & thin cucumber slices), close the sandwich, toast it in a hot pan, and it's ready to eat, perfection! 🇮🇳🥪✨️👌🏻😁

[@SilentWolf2011]

I had my doubt making this as the 1/4 cup of water wasn’t enough (just added a little more at a time till it’s right, you’ll know when it’s right), but it definitely worked out. Good recipe. 👍🏾
