Step-by-Step Instructions

1
To make the dough, combine the flour, salt, and ghee or oil in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add water to the mixture and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and pliable. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2
To make the filling, boil the potatoes and peas until they are tender. Drain the water and let the potatoes and peas cool. Then, mash the potatoes and peas together in a large mixing bowl. Add the onions, ginger, garlic, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and lemon juice to the bowl and mix well.
3
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a thin circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Place a tablespoon or two of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle or cone shape, and press the edges together to seal the samosa.
4
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add a few samosas to the pan and fry until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain the samosas on paper towels and serve hot with chutney or raita.
