Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; toast 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2
Add minced onion and cook 2 minutes, stirring often, until soft.
Step 3
Stir in coriander, green chili, diced potatoes, and cilantro. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
Cool filling to room temperature, ~5 minutes.
Step 5
Place one wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 1 tbsp filling into the center.
Step 6
Wet edges with water. Fold in half to form a triangle; press edges firmly to seal.
Step 7
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, working in batches.
Step 8
Heat 2 cups oil in a heavy pot to 350°F (or until a piece of wrapper sizzles immediately).
Step 9
Carefully slide samosas into hot oil in batches; do not overcrowd. Fry 2–3 minutes until deep golden.
Step 10
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with yogurt or chutney.
