Preparation

1. Step 1 · 10 minutes

   0:39
   Knead the dough by combining all-purpose flour, salt, carom seeds, and oil. Add room temperature water little by little until a medium dough forms. Cover and set aside to rest.
   Doneness — golden brown
2. Step 2

   1:54
   Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add roughly chopped onion and green chili, then sauté until the onion softens.
3. Step 3

   2:25
   Add crushed coriander, crushed chili, amchur powder, chaat masala, turmeric powder, and salt to the pan. Mix well, then add the boiled and mashed potatoes along with fresh cilantro. Stir until combined, then remove from heat and let the stuffing cool.
4. Step 4

   3:33
   After the resting period, briefly knead the rested dough. Divide it into four equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
5. Step 5

   5:00
   Roll each dough ball into a thin roti on a floured surface. Roll slightly long in shape.
6. Step 6

   5:41
   Apply a thin layer of ghee on each rolled roti, then sprinkle cornstarch evenly over the surface. Place another roti on top, align them, and roll lightly with very light hands to create layered dough sheets.
7. Step 7

   6:41
   Using a cutter or glass, make light marks on the layered dough to guide where the filling will go. Place the potato filling in the center of each marked section. Cover with another layer of dough, remove air pockets, and seal the edges. Cut along the marked lines to form individual samosa shapes.
8. Step 8 · 6 minutes

   7:58
   Heat oil in a pan over medium heat for shallow frying. Reduce to medium-low and carefully place the samosas in the oil. Fry, flipping occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
   Doneness — golden and crispy
