Steps to Make the filling for aloo samosa

• Crumble the boiled potatoes and keep it aside.
• In a large bowl, take ½ tsp ajwain, 250 grams all-purpose flour and ¼ cup oil, salt as per taste and mix well till the flour forms breadcrumbs like texture.
• Add water parts by parts and mix the flour to form a dough. The dough should be hard and not soft.
• Cover the dough with a cloth and keep aside for at least 30 minutes.
• Take a Kadhai, heat oil in it and add ½ tsp cumin seeds.
• As soon as the cumin seeds start to crackle, add the 1 tbsp ginger paste and saute it for a minute.
• Now add the remaining dry ingredients, 1 tsp garam masala, ¾ tsp red chili powder, ½ tsp cumin powder and saute it well.
• Add the crumbled potatoes, some salt, and mix them well again.
• Taste the potato filling and add some salt if required, sprinkle some chopped coriander leaves and keep it aside.

Steps to Make the Potato Samosa

• Knead the dough that was kept aside for a minute or two.
• Take small gold ball sized portions from the dough.
• Using a rolling pin, flatten a dough ball in perfect oval shape. Apply some oil before flattening it.
• Using a knife, cut the flatten dough from the center and divide it into 2 equal parts.
• Apply water on the straight side. 
• Now, lift the straight side and join them to make the shape of a cone. Seal the cone by pressing this straight side so that while frying, the filling doesn't come out.
• Fill the cone with one or 1½  spoon full of potato filling. You can add filling according to the size of the cone. I made them small, so only used 1 teaspoon to fill.
• Now, apply some water on the opposite edges which are open. Seal this edge with 1 pleat.
• Similarly, make all the samosa before deep frying. In a Kadhai, heat oil for deep frying.
• Keeping the flame on low, as soon as the oil is hot, slip as many samosas as you can.
• Let it fry undisturbed for a minute, then flip them and fry this side as well for a minute.
• Keep repeating this 1-minute process till your samosas turn golden in color.
• Your samosa is ready to be served. Serve it hot with pudina chutney or ketchup.
• You can also make samosa sandwiches or aloo toast using the potato filling.

Notes

• Don’t use less oil while kneading the dough. Otherwise, your samosa won’t be crunchy after frying.
• You can add some crumbled paneer with the potato or any other veggies you want.
• Don’t keep the flame on medium or high while deep frying the samosa. It will not cook the samosa from inside and in turn, your samosa will not turn crispy.
• Keep the dough hard and stiff. But don’t knead it too soft or too hard.
