Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix diced potatoes, peas, cumin seeds, and chili powder with a pinch of salt in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Place 1 tsp filling in center of a wonton wrapper. Wet all edges lightly with water.

  3. Step 3

    Fold wrapper into a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Repeat until all samosas are filled.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Working in batches, fry samosas 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Serve warm with chutney or yogurt dip.
