  • Heat a little oil in a Kadai. Add the finely chopped onions and fry till golden brown

  • Add the green chillies and all the powders including salt

  • The dough should not be too soft

How to make the samosas

  • Make small even sized balls from the dough
  • Roll it with a rolling pin into a circle
  • Cut the circle into 2 halves
  • Make a paste with 1 tbsp flour and 2 tbsp water. Apply it on all the sides
  • Bring both the ends of the semi circle to form a cone
  • Hold the cone upside down and fill it. Then seal it completely
  • Continue the same with the remaining dough
  • Refrigerate for half an hour. This makes the samosas crispy
  • Heat oil in a Kadai for deep fry. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the samosas until they turn slightly golden brown on low heat
  • Serve the hot crispy samosas with pudina chutney

Note: If you want to, add a little dill leaves  (After adding the peas). This is purely optional. This will definitely give  a different and unique  taste.
