  1. 1

    Take maida/wheat flour. Make a well in between and to it add the oil, salt, ajwain/thyme. Mix the ingredients together. It should have the consistency of wet sand. Add water slowly and make hard dough. Keep the dough aside, covered for an hour.

    Boil Potatoes. Mash them and to it add salt, red pepper powder, cumin powder, amchur powder. Add the boiled peas. Also add chopped coriander leaves and roasted peanuts.

  3. 3

    Take a pan on stovetop/gas. Once it becomes hot add oil. To the hot oil add cumin seeds and let it splutter. Add aloo mixture to it and stir fry for some time. Put off the flame and let it cool.

  4. 4

    Now make balls of the dough and roll it evenly. Divide the dough into two halves.

  5. 5

    Make a cone with one half of the rolled dough. Take little water in your hand and put it at the edges. This will help in sealing the edges of samosa. Now seal the edges. Make a fold in the side opposite to the edges. Now, again add water on the edges and seal the samosa. Now, first put one matar/pea in the cone. This will help in maintaining the shape of cone of samosa. Now add the filling till 3/4th of the cone.
