Ultimate Samosa Recipe: Crispy Potatoes in Every Bite

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Combine maida, fine sooji, kosher salt, and ajwain seeds in a bowl. Mix in melted ghee until you achieve a crumbly texture. Gradually add water until a firm dough forms. Cover it and let it rest for 20 minutes.

   Steam the red potatoes until soft, then peel and dice them. In a pan, heat some oil, then sauté coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds until fragrant. Add the diced potatoes, green peas, and spices, mixing well. Allow the filling to cool completely.

3. 3

   Divide the resting dough into golf ball-sized portions. Roll each portion into an oval, cut in half, and shape into cones. Fill each cone with the prepared filling and seal the edges by pressing them together to form a triangle.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a deep pan until shimmering. Carefully add samosas to the hot oil, frying until they turn golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Drain on a wire rack.

   Alternatively, preheat your air fryer. Brush the samosas lightly with oil and place them in the basket. Cook until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through for even crispiness.
