  • Mix all the ingredients with your hands and knead them to form a hard dough. Cover it with a wet cloth and keep aside for 15-20 minutes.
  • Now, for filling, heat oil in a wok (kadhai), add cumin seeds and green chili-ginger paste. Stir and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add boiled green peas and fried quickly for a minute. After that, add red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, lemon juice and fennel seeds powder.
  • Stir the mixture well.
  • Add mashed potatoes and salt, if it’s required and mix them properly. Cook for 2-3 minutes and add coriander leaves into it.
  • Now, remove the wet cloth from the dough and make round shaped balls of it.
  • Take one ball, slightly press it between your palms and put it over a rolling board, roll it out in a round shaped with a rolling pin.
  • Cut it into two semi-circles and spread water with a finger on the edges.
  • Take one semi-circle and give it a shape like a cone by folding it from both the sides.
  • Put the one green pea at the bottom, so that its shape doesn’t change.
  • Add 2-3 tbsp of filling in the cone and wet the edges from the fingers and press it tightly with your thumb to seal them.
  • So, like the same, give the shape to the other balls and fill them.
  • After that, heat the oil in a wok (kadhai) and add 2-3 Samosa. Cook them in a low flame, so that they all cook properly and uniformly.
