Dough

• Sieve maida and add salt and ajwain to it

• Rub it well with your fingertips until you form a bread crumb like texture.
• Add water and knead well to form a hard dough. Make sure that it is not so hard not so soft.
• Keep for resting for at least 10-15 minutes.

Filling

• Boil peel and mash the potatoes. Make sure that you don't make a complete paste.
• Boil the green peas
• Heat oil, add chopped ginger and garlic and saute till the raw flavour is gone.
• Add potatoes and green peas and mix well.
• Add the masalas and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Adjust salt and keep for cooling.

Samosa

• Make portions from the dough aa well as the mixture.
• Roll it thin. Stuff the filling and make desired shapes as shown in the image above.
• Deep fry till golden brown.
• Serve hot with mint and tamarind chutney. (Refer to Mint Bhet for Recipe of Chutneys)

Tips

• Kneading the dough with ice cold water will give you the desired texture.
• Make sure you cook the green peas before you mix.
• Fry the Samosas in very slow oil because there are chances of the final product getting burnt from top and remaining raw from inside.
