How to Make Indian Samosa

1. **Prepare the Dough:** In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp turmeric powder. Gradually add 3/4 cup water, mixing until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until elastic. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
2. **Make the Filling:** Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté until golden. Add 2 finely chopped green chilies (adjust to your spice preference) and sauté for a minute. Add 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced), 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/4 tsp garam masala, 1/4 tsp coriander powder, and salt to taste. Cook until potatoes are tender and the excess moisture has evaporated. Let cool completely.
3. **Assemble the Samosas:** Roll out the dough thinly. Cut into 4-inch squares. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each square. Fold the square in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Crimp the edges decoratively.
4. **Fry the Samosas:** Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or kadai to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the samosas, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. **Serve:** Serve your hot, delicious samosas with tamarind chutney or mint chutney for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
