In a bowl add the flour, oil, salt, carom seeds and water then mix and kneed the ingredients to form a smooth and firm dough before covering with a tablecloth and setting aside – try to knead the dough for at least 15 minutes as the longer you mix the better it is
Peel and chop the potatoes into small bite-sized pieces
In a large saucepan add the potatoes and cover with cold water then bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are soft and tender
As the potatoes are boiling in a pan heat up the oil on medium heat until hot
Add the cumin seeds and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant
Add the finely diced onion and cook for a few minutes until it softens and becomes translucent
Add the peas and cook for a further few minutes
Add then salt, turmeric powder, crushed chilli flakes, chilli powder and garam masala and cook these spices for a few minutes – you may need to add a little water to help the spices release all their colours and prevent burning
Drain the cooked potatoes and add into the mixture then gently mix and break apart the potatoes
Add the finely chopped green chilli and coriander then stir before removing from heat and allowing the filling to cool down
Take the dough and make small smooth balls with it – you should be able to make 8-10 balls depending on your personal preference on how big you want your samosas
Roll out the dough balls into circles – ensure that you do not make them too thin or else they will tear when you add the filling
Cut into half and take one half
Using water to seal the edge create a cone (as shown in the video)
Add the cooled mixture into the cone ensuring that it is not overfilled then seal the top with water – at this point the samosas can be frozen
Heat a pan with oil for deep frying until medium-hot ensuring that the oil is not too hot – to test this you can add a small ball of the dough into the pan, and it should rise with tiny bubbles surrounding it
Gently add the samosas into the pan – there should be tiny bubbles surrounding them – and allow them to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown before flipping and allowing to cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown on the other side
Serve alongside some hari green chutney and enjoy

What kind of green chili is used for the filling?
You can use a standard green chilli, which is available in most grocery stores. 🙂
Cn i use self raising flour instead of plain
Yes, you can use self-raising flour but I would recommend using plain flour. You can, however, use self-raising flour if you want to bake instead of fry. Hope this helps 🙂
Thanks for a very nice recipe. I will cheat and use large tortillas for pastry when pressed a little flour and water paste and wow. I have only baked these
Most welcome! I have also used tortilla wraps and they taste delicious 🙂
