Step-by-Step Preparation

Prepare the Dough
Mix flour, salt, and oil in a bowl. Rub the oil into the flour until it feels crumbly. Add water gradually to make a firm dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
Make the Filling
Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, and let them splutter. Add ginger paste and green chilies, sauté for a few seconds. Add mashed potatoes, green peas, and all the spices. Mix well and cook for 3–4 minutes. Let it cool.
Shape the Samosas
Divide the dough into equal balls. Roll out into an oval shape, cut in half, and form a cone shape with one piece. Fill it with the prepared potato mixture, then seal the edges with a little water.
Fry the Samosas
Heat oil on medium flame. Fry the samosas until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels.
Prepare the Sauce (Chutney)
