Classic Onion Samosa

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Add water gradually and knead to form a smooth and firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

3. 3

   Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.

4. 4

   Add the green peas, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peas are tender. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin oval shape.

6. 6

   Cut the oval in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle and fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water.

7. 7

   Fill the cone with the onion and pea mixture, then seal the top edge with water to form a triangle.

8. 8

   Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

9. 9

   Heat oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the samosas and fry until they are golden brown and crispy.

10. 10

    Remove the samosas from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
