Step 1
Mix diced potatoes, peas, cumin seeds, and chili powder with a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Place 1 tsp filling in center of a wonton wrapper. Wet all edges lightly with water.
Step 3
Fold wrapper into a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Repeat until all samosas are filled.
Step 4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Working in batches, fry samosas 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
