How to Make Crispy Maida Samosa:

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

• In a mixing bowl, combine maida, salt, and oil/ghee. Mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
• Gradually add water and knead into a stiff, smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling Heat oil in a pan.

• Add cumin seeds, green chilies, and ginger. Sauté briefly.
• Add boiled potatoes, peas, and spices.
• Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Finish with fresh coriander and allow the filling to cool.

Step 3: Assemble the Samosas

• Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each into a thin oval or round. Cut in half. Form a cone with one half, fill it with the prepared mixture, and seal the edges firmly.
• Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 4: Fry the Samosas Heat oil on medium flame.

• Fry the samosas on low-medium heat until golden and crispy.
• Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
