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!
