Ingredients
Garnish
- Coriander Leaves (optional) (garnish) — 2 tbsp (chopped)
Main
- green peas — 100 g (chopped)
- garam masala powder — 4 g (ground)
- Potato — 450 g (chopped)
- ajwain — 3 g (whole)
- green chillies — 8 g (chopped)
- All-purpose Flour — 280 g (ground)
- Coriander Seeds — 4 g (ground)
- Amchur (Whole Dried Green Mango Slices) — 6 g (ground)
- salt (optional) (whole)
- Ginger — 15 g (chopped)
Tempering
- Cumin Seeds — 4 g (whole)
- Asafoetida — 0.5 g (ground)
- oil — 70 tbsp (whole)
Method
- Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, then peel and coarsely mash them. Heat a little oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle, then add crushed coriander seeds, ginger, green chillies and asafoetida; saute for a minute.
- Add the green peas and mashed potato to the pan along with garam masala and amchur. Mix well, mash lightly and cook for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the coriander leaves and adjust salt. Cool the filling completely.
- For the dough, mix the maida, ajwain and salt in a bowl. Rub in a little oil until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then add water gradually and knead into a stiff dough. Cover and rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into balls, roll each into an oval, cut in half, and fold each half into a cone. Fill each cone with the potato-pea mixture and seal the edges with a little water.
- Heat the remaining oil in a deep kadhai on low-to-medium flame. Slide in the samosas and fry slowly for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until deep golden and flaky. Drain and serve hot with chutney and masala chai -- the classic Ambala Cantonment railway platform style.
