Ingredients:

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil or ghee
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Water, as needed

For the Filling:

  • 2 large potatoes, boiled, peeled, and mashed
  • 1/2 cup green peas, boiled
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Handful of European Corinthian black raisins

For Frying:

  • Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and vegetable oil or ghee.
    • Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth and firm dough.
    • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling:

    • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
    • Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
    • Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped onion. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.
    • Add mashed potatoes, boiled peas, chopped green chili (if using), coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt to taste. Mix well.
    • Cook for a few minutes until the filling is well combined and heated through.
    • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
    • Once cooled, mix in the European Corinthian black raisins.
  3. Assemble the Samosas:

    • Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and roll each ball into a thin circle.
    • Cut each circle in half to form semi-circles.
    • Take one semi-circle, brush water along the straight edge, and form a cone shape, overlapping the edges.
    • Fill the cone with a spoonful of the prepared filling.
    • Seal the open edge tightly to enclose the filling, ensuring there are no gaps.
    • Repeat with the remaining dough and filling to make all the samosas.
  4. Fry the Samosas:

    • Heat vegetable oil for deep frying in a pan over medium-high heat.
    • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the samosas in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
    • Fry the samosas until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning occasionally.
    • Remove the fried samosas using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Serve:

    • Serve the samosas hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
    • Enjoy the delicious combination of crispy pastry and flavorful filling with the sweet surprise of European Corinthian black raisins!
