How to Make Aloo Samosa at Home?

Samosa is hands down one of the most popular and favourite snacks among people across the country.

If you are an avid samosa lover, but want to avoid indulging in roadside snacks, here is a perfect recipe for preparing delicious samosas at home.

All-purpose flour – 2 Cups    Potatoes – 3 medium-sized    Green peas – Half cup    Red chilli powder    Coriander powder    Cumin seeds    Fennel seeds    Garam masala    Amchur    Salt    Chopped coriander    Chopped ginger    Chopper green chillies    Ghee    Oil

Ingredients

Begin by mixing flour and salt in a large bowl. Add a little bit of ghee or oil and mix it well. You can slowly add water and knead it into a stiff dough. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for the next 30 minutes.

Turn on the stove and boil the potatoes and peas till properly done. Mash them lightly and set aside.

 In a pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds, fennel seeds, chopped ginger, and green chilli and sauté for a few seconds.

Next, add the mashed potatoes, green peas, and all the spices and salt as required. Mix well and add the chopped coriander leaves.

Cut the disc into two parts, making a semicircle. Take one part and apply water on the straight edges. Bring the two corners together to form a cone-like structure. Add 2-3 tablespoons of filling inside the cone and press it lightly.

Add water to the edges and seal them, making sure that there are no gaps. Continue the same process with the rest of the dough and filling. Next, in a pan, heat oil and start frying the samosas in batches on low heat.

Don’t flip them for the first 5 to 6 minutes. Once they start to firm up, increase the heat to medium and carefully flip them.
