Method

For the vegetable filling

Heat oil in a frying pan, add the chopped ginger and garlic and saute for a minute. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add masala powderes and saute for 1 minute. Now add salt and mix well. Add the chopped potato and green peas and saute for 2 minutes. Now add chopped coriander leaves and remove from flame.

For the pastry

 Mix flour and salt into a bowl. Make a whole into the centre and add the oil and enough water to make a firm dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and roll into a ball. Cover in plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes. 

Divide the pastry into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and roll out into a circle of 15 cm. Divide this circle into two equal pieces with a knife.

Brush each edge with a little water and form a cone shape around your fingers, sealing the dampened edge. Fill the cases with a tbsp of your mixture and press the two dampened edges together to seal the top of the cone. Deep fry the samosas in hot oil until crisp and brown, take out and drain on a paper towel.

NB: Now ready made samosa wraps are available in the super markets. We can buy that use instead of making the pastry. Enjoy cooking.
