Samosas, those crispy, golden triangles of deliciousness, are a beloved snack around the world. Whether you're craving something savory or just need a tasty snack, homemade samosas are the way to go. Plus, making them at home means you can customize the filling to suit your taste buds. So, let's dive into the wonderful world of samosas and learn how to make them from scratch!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• Water (for dough)

• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed

• 1/2 cup peas, boiled

• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala

• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust according to taste)

• Salt to taste

• Oil for frying

1. Make the Dough:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, vegetable oil, and salt.

   • Slowly add water and knead until you have a smooth, pliable dough. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • Heat some oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add the mashed potatoes and boiled peas.

   • Stir in the garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Cook for a few minutes until the flavors meld together. Set aside to cool.

3. Shape the Samosas:

   • Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll out each ball into a thin circle and cut it in half.

   • Take one half and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edges with a water-flour paste.

   • Fill the cone with the potato-pea mixture and seal the open end using the water-flour paste. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

4. Fry the Samosas:

   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai over medium heat.

   • Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in the samosas, a few at a time, and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy.

   • Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve your homemade samosas hot with your favorite chutney or sauce. Enjoy the crispy goodness with every bite!

Making samosas at home is a fun and rewarding experience. Plus, the aroma of freshly fried samosas wafting through your kitchen is simply irresistible. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and get ready to impress your family and friends with your culinary skills!
