For making dough:

Wheat flour
1 cup
Salt
¼ tsp
Oil
2 tsp
Water to kneed


Ingredients for stuffing:

Onions
2 medium
Ginger-garlic paste
¼ tsp
Boiled potato
1 big
Fresh green peas
¼ cup
Carrot
1 grated (use big hole)
Red chilli powder
½ tsp
Coriander powder
½ tsp
Fennel powder
¼ tsp
Garam masala powder
¼ tsp
Turmeric powder
2 pinch
Salt
½ tsp
Coriander leaves
little (chopped)
Oil
1 - ½ tbsp
Method:

  1. First prepare dough. Mix flour, salt and oil together. Add water in intervals and kneed into a soft dough (when pressed with finger, it should easily depress). Coat with oil and keep covered for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare Stuffing: Chop Onions into thin slices. Break boiled potato into coarse pieces. Heat a kadai and pour oil. Once it becomes hot, add sliced onions and fry till light brown. Lower the flame and add ginger-garlic paste. Fry for few seconds. Add red chilli powder, coriander powder, fennel powder, garam masala, turmeric and salt. Mix well. Add green peas and grated carrots and sprinkle little water. Mix again, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or till dry. Then add potato pieces and coriander leaves. Mix till well combined and fry till dry.. Do not mash the potatoes. Allow to cool.
  3. Now back to dough. Kneed the dough once again a little. Make small thin rotis (without oil) or pulkas from this dough. Allow to cool.
  4. Make glue with maida or wheat flour ( take 2 tbsp of flour in a small bowl and add water to make a thick paste).
Now make Samosas.

  1. Cut each roti into half. Take one half and make a cone using the flour paste to stick the sides. Place 1 tbsp of stuffing and seal the edges. Repeat with remaining rotis and keep aside.
  2. Heat sufficient oil in a kadai to medium hot. Lower the flame and gently drop 3-4 Samosas at a time. Gently turn over either side and fry till light golden colour. Remove and place over absorbant paper. Repeat with all the Samosas.
Serve with tomato sauce or as it is.

Tip: Cooked and shredded Chicken pieces or paneer cut into small pieces or grated cheese can be added to the stuffing ( add cheese only after cooling the stuffing).
