Authentic Samosas
Crispy, golden samosas with spiced potato filling - authentic and delicious!

INGREDIENTS
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups water (approximately)
• 3 large potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 0.5 cups green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoons salt (for filling)
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons green chili, minced (optional)
• 1 tablespoons oil (for cooking filling)
• 2 cups oil for deep frying

STEPS
1. Make dough and rest: Mix 2 cups all-purpose flour, 0.5 teaspoons salt, and 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter in a bowl. Gradually add 0.5 cups water (approximately) and knead to form a stiff dough. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
2. Cook spices and onion: Heat 1 tablespoons oil (for cooking filling) in a pan. Cook 1 onion, finely chopped until soft, then add 1 tablespoons curry powder, 1 teaspoons salt (for filling), 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, and 1 teaspoons green chili, minced (optional). Stir for 1 minute.
3. Make filling and cool: Add 3 large potatoes, boiled and mashed and 0.5 cups green peas (fresh or frozen) to the pan. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Let the filling cool completely.
4. Roll and cut dough: Divide dough into 6 equal balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, then cut in half to make 2 semi-circles.
5. Form cones and fill: Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, and seal the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with 1-2 tablespoons of potato filling.
6. Seal samosas: Seal the top edge with water, pressing firmly to close completely. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
7. Heat oil: Heat 2 cups oil for deep frying in a deep pan or wok to medium heat (about 170°C/340°F).
8. Fry until golden: Fry samosas in batches, 3-4 at a time, turning occasionally until golden brown all over (about 5-7 minutes per batch).
9. Drain and serve: Drain on paper towels and serve hot with chutney or sauce!

NOTES
**Traditional Indian samosas with REAL ingredients:**
- **Fresh potatoes** - the heart of the filling
- **Real spices** - curry powder for authentic flavor
- **Homemade dough** - crispy and flaky
- **Deep fried** - the traditional way for maximum crispiness

**Pro tips:**
- Dough should be stiff, not soft - this makes them crispy
- Don't overfill or they'll burst while frying
- Fry on medium heat - too hot and they brown before cooking inside
- Serve with mint chutney, tamarind sauce, or ketchup!

**Make ahead:** You can freeze uncooked samosas and fry them directly from frozen!
