Samosa is one of the most famous and delicious snacks in India. I guess there is no Indian who would refuse to have a Samosa. It is basically a fried flaky pastry with a savory filling such as potato, onions, peas, cheese, etc fragrant with plenty of spices like coriander powder, cumin seeds, etc. It is triangular in shape and usually served hot with mint chutney or Ketchup.
This recipe calls out for a cumin-studded whole wheat flour dough which is healthier than APF and a filling made out of spicy green peas and onions...which gives a unique twist to the traditional samosas that usually uses potato as the base for the filling.
These are a tasty treat and a go-to appetizer for any parties...loved from kids to elders. It can also be served with evening tea or coffee. They are absolutely tasty and easy to make. Let's dig into the recipe.

INSTRUCTION:
1. Firstly let's make the dough, add all the ingredients mentioned 'for the dough ' in a bowl, and make a soft but firm dough. Keep it aside covered under a damp cloth.
2 . Next, let's make the filling. In a Kadai or Pan, Heat oil, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and let them crackle, add Asafoetida, turmeric powder, chopped onion and saute for 2 to 3 minutes till they are translucent.
3. Now add green peas, and mix well. Add chaat masala, red chili powder, garam masala, Coriander powder, and stir well. Also, add salt and sugar as per taste. Close lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Off the flame, Add lemon juice, stir well and keep it aside to cool down so it is easier to stuff.
4. Let's make the Samosa cases to fill the stuffing. Divide the dough into small balls and roll them into thin circles. Cut each rolled out circle into two halves by running a knife in the center. So you get 2 semi-circles. Take one semicircle, shape them into cones, and with a spoon fill them with Onion peas mixture.
5. Now dab some water on one side of the cone, press the two edges together and seal. Continue with all other dough circles.
6. Place them on a plate and cover with a moist cloth.
7. Heat the oil in a deep Kadai or pan for frying on medium heat. Deep fry the prepared samosas in hot oil till they are golden brown. Fry them in batches of 2 to 3 and don't overcrowd.
8. Remove them from the Kadai using a slotted spoon and drain them on a kitchen paper. Serve them hot with green chutney or ketchup.
