Mix it well with chopped onions, peas, spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder.
Add seasoning according to taste.
Shape the samosas
Take small balls of dough, flatten each into a thin oval or circle.
Cut the circle in half.
Fold each half into a triangle to form a cone shape.
Seal the edge with a little water.
Stuff the samosas
Fill the cone with your prepared filling.
Seal the open edge by pinching the sides together to form a triangle.
Frying the samosas
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Fry the samosas in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve the crispy samosas with chutney or with your favorite dip.
Tips & Tricks
