Aloo Samosa 🥔

Ingredients: For the Dough 2 cups all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons oil ½ teaspoon ajwain (carom seeds) Water, as needed For the Aloo Filling: 4–5 medium boiled potatoes 1 tablespoon oil 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 2–3 green chilies, chopped 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped 1 teaspoon chaat masala ½ teaspoon turmeric powder ½ teaspoon crushed red chili ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste ½ teaspoon coriander powder Oil, for deep frying For Serving: Mint chutney Tamarind chutney, optional Raita, optional Method: Step 1 — Prepare the Dough: Take 2 cups of all-purpose flour in a bowl. Add ½ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons oil, and ½ teaspoon ajwain. Mix everything well until the flour becomes slightly crumbly. Gradually add water and knead until you have a firm dough. The dough should not be too soft. Cover the dough and let it rest for 20–30 minutes. Step 2 — Prepare the Aloo Filling: Boil the potatoes until tender, then peel and roughly mash them. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Add chopped green chilies, fresh coriander, Chaat masala, turmeric, crushed red chili, salt, and coriander powder. Add the boiled potatoes and mix everything well. Cook for a few minutes until all the spices are well combined. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool completely. Step 3 — Make the Samosas: Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a thin oval shape and cut it in half to make two semicircles. Take one semicircle and bring the edges together to form a cone. Seal the edges with a little water. Fill the cone with the prepared potato filling. Apply a little water to the edges and seal the samosa properly. Repeat the same process with the remaining dough and filling. Step 4 — Fry the Samosas: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-low heat. Carefully place the samosas into the hot oil. Fry them slowly until they become golden, crispy, and perfectly cooked. Once golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Step 5 — Serve Your crispy and delicious Aloo Samosas are ready! 🥔 Serve them hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or your favorite sauce.
