A Step-By-Step Guide - Punjabi Style Samosa At Home
Step 1 - In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and ghee or oil. Mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Slowly add water, a little at a time, and knead into a smooth and firm dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2 - Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped green chilli and grated ginger. Sauté for a minute. Add coriander powder, garam masala, red chilli powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 3 - Add the boiled and mashed potatoes along with boiled green peas. Mix everything together, ensuring the spices coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.

Step 4 - Divide the rested dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a circle of about 6-7 inches in diameter. Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles.

Step 5 - Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edges using water. Fill the cone with the prepared potato filling, leaving some space at the top. Seal the open edges of the cone by folding and pressing them together.

Step 6 - Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, gently slide the assembled samosas into the oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.

Step 7 - Remove the fried samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or ketchup.
