Method:

Step 1 : Making the dough

• In a big bowl, take maida, salt, carom seeds (ajwain) and about 80ml of refine oil and knead the dough a little tight. Add water gradually and knead the dough nicely.
• Cover the dough and keep it aside for 15-20mins.

Step 2 : Making the stuffing

• In a pan pour 1/4^th refine add coriander seeds (crush it a little), cumin seeds, ginger and stir well. Lower the flame and add green chilies, red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, garam masala as well and fry a little.
• Add peas and fry a little. Now, add boiled potatoes (mash them a little), add a little fresh coriander and mix everything well.

Step 3 : Rolling the samosas’s dough

• Take a small portion of the kneaded dough and roll with a rolling pin like a roti. Cut the roti into two halves and in one half make long cuts in between with a knife. Avoid making cuts around the ends.
• Now, brush both the halves with a little water and put the two halves on top of each other as to stick then together. And even it out with a rolling pin lightly.
• Now, brush the edges of the samosas and fold in a cone shape. Be careful to seal all the edges so they don’t break while frying.

Step 4 : Frying the samosas

• Now in the cones we made put a little stuffing and gently press in and seal the edges with brushing a little water.
• Now in a kadhai, pour oil about 1.5L and heat up. Fry the samosas for 3-mins and turn them. Stir the samosas lightly and fry them on medium flame for 15-20mins. Keep patience!
• Take them out when they are golden brown and drain the excess oil.
