Indian Samosas are a popular snack that originated in India and are now enjoyed all over the world. These delicious triangular-shaped pastries are filled with a spicy mixture of potatoes, peas, and spices, making them a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.
To make Indian Samosas, you will need the following ingredients:

For the dough:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water

For the filling:

- 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1/2 cup green peas, boiled
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
To make the dough, mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the oil and mix until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add the water and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
To make the filling, heat the oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds. Once they start to splutter, add the mashed potatoes, peas, and spices. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes.
To assemble the samosas, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a circle. Cut the circle in half and form a cone shape. Fill the cone with the potato mixture and seal the edges by applying water. Deep fry the samosas until golden brown.
Indian Samosas are a delicious and crispy snack that can be enjoyed on their own or with chutney. They have a spicy and savory taste that is sure to satisfy your cravings. Try making them at home and impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
