Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of oil to create a crumbly texture. Gradually add enough water—approximately 6–8 tablespoons—mixing until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the filling.
- Peel and boil 2 medium-sized potatoes until tender, approximately 15 minutes, then mash them in a mixing bowl. In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and a teaspoon of cumin seeds, sautéing for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Combine the sautéed mixture with the mashed potatoes, 1 cup of green peas, and spices, mixing well to create your flavorful filling.
- Add 1 teaspoon of garam masala, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and salt to taste to the potato mixture. Stir in a tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro, ensuring an even blend of flavors. Allow the filling to cool for a few minutes until it's comfortable to handle.
- After resting, divide the dough into small balls, each about the size of a golf ball. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, roughly 6 inches in diameter. Carefully cut each circle in half to create two semi-circles.
- Take one semi-circle and form a cone by folding it over, sealing the edge with a touch of water. Fill the cone with a generous tablespoon of the potato filling. Pinch the open edge tightly to seal completely. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.
- In a deep frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Carefully add a few patties at a time, frying them for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Once golden and crispy, use a slotted spoon to remove the patties from the oil, placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve your delicious Spiced Samosa Patties hot.
